I have a ~2 year old XPS13 thats been pretty flawless, though it was bought as a "Developer Edition" that shipped with Linux (which was replaced with a different distro on day 1). Not sure how much those differ in hardware, but it seemed more or less identical to the Windows versions at the time.
Do you have a newer model and how is your experience? I would consider buying another XPS in the future if it had better Linux compatibility.
