Dell XPS 13 (9370)

Travels with Panasonic CF54 has turned to an end and promised to help a colleague to setup this XPS13 (9370) model for Linux use.

Hardware is decent, fragile and lacking interfaces (it only has 3 USB-C ports) if you compare to any Toughbook model. However this computer is awesome example how Linux has gained ground over Windows. All items just work under Linux and no annoyances are present with this setup.

I installed Debian 9 with KDE desktop environment and things works out of the box. Only thing I need to figure out is Bluetooth firmware. I has some compatibility issues for mouse and there was some instructions somewhere how to update this.

So my Sunday morning coffee (started at 5AM) has been success with this Dell.
