18.04 I had a lot of trouble with on my XPS.<p>20.04 has worked like a dream! It even can update the bios now, so you don't need to keep a windows partition or usb around.<p>I really have no reason to go back to any other OS
I replaced my older XPS with an Ubuntu 20.04 laptop from Star Lab systems. Mostly because I wanted firmware updates via apt-get. They have a new model coming out: better CPU, more RAM, more disk for the same price point as the XPS.<p><a href="https://starlabs.systems/pages/labtop-mk-iv" rel="nofollow">https://starlabs.systems/pages/labtop-mk-iv</a><p>The top-end XPS will be a more powerful system, but if you're gonna budget - worth considering. Build quality is excellent, have had no issues.
Is there any distro with hardware video acceleration working in a web browser out of the box?<p>I tried installing Linux on my laptop but since watching videos is a major part of my laptop use case I can't really justify the switch.
