Hi everyone..I am going to get a new Dell XPS 15 laptop. I want to know if I will be able to install and use Debian on it properly without getting any issues. Has anyone ever used Debian on Dell XPS 15 laptop? Please share your experience. With Kind Regards, Dwijesh

From what I can tell from the first matches on Google, such as this one, it should work okay. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BNfeJ5FP3-AJ:https://www.fussylogic.co.uk/blog/%3Fp%3D1276+&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us (site was down so cached link) You might want to use testing or unstable for better support, but you can always try stable first and upgrade later. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5

Based on some quick research of the available configurations, it would be wise to purchase the model with the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 wireless card rather than the Dell Wireless 1560 which uses a Broadcom chipset. Otherwise with a little BIOS/UEFI tweaking, the XPS 15 seems like it would handle most GNU/Linux distributions. Brandon Vincent

Unless you are feeling extremely lucky, update it to the very latest BIOS/UEFI *BEFORE* you even attempt to install Debian. Also, you likely benefit from keeping that firmware up-to-date for a while yet. If you cannot flash updates from Linux, keep a Windows partition around to do it. You have been warned. (BTW, the above applies to any Intel Skylake-based system you want to run Debian on). > Has anyone ever used Debian on Dell XPS 15 laptop? Please share your > experience. You may have to boot with the kernel parameter 'intel_idle.max_cstate=0' if you experience crashes. This will drain the battery a bit more, though. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
