My market's Dell and especially my local chain store won't offer the pre-installed Linux option.<br /><br />I'm not sure what I'm missing if I run a standard Ubuntu, but:<br /><br /> - <a href="https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-hk/drivers/osiso/linux" rel="noreferrer">www.dell.com/support/home/en-hβ¦</a> seems to offer an ISO for the OEM Ubuntu, if you provide your Service Tag (why??).<br /> - Someone on the support forum says they bought it with Windows, but their Grub screenshot shows the OEM Linux version, so there is a way.<br /> - The certification exists in four versions and two of them mention the touch screen, so I guess it's worth buying the touchscreen version. <a href="https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/202007-28063" rel="noreferrer">certification.ubuntu.com/hardwβ¦</a><br /> - No wait, I thought the price difference for touch was small, but that's because the spec for the touch model has half the SSD and RAM. Never mind then.<br /><br />It's an expensive one, but I expect to be using it for 8 years like we have with our 2013 MacBook, which is still the strongest computer in the household.<br /><br />#<a href="https://libranet.de/search?tag=Dell" class="tag" title="Dell">Dell</a> #<a href="https://libranet.de/search?tag=Ubuntu" class="tag" title="Ubuntu">Ubuntu</a> #<a href="https://libranet.de/search?tag=DellUbuntu" class="tag" title="DellUbuntu">DellUbuntu</a> #<a href="https://libranet.de/search?tag=UbuntuOEM" class="tag" title="UbuntuOEM">UbuntuOEM</a>1058928http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2021-01-31T03:53:33+00:002021-01-31T03:53:33+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://libranet.de/profile/clackeclacke<p>Flawesome.
