I've been exclusively using Linux (Antergos) on the XPS 15 since mid-February. Installing was remarkably easy, though I haven't had time to mess with the fingerprint reader or GPU switching due to work.

My only complaint is that the glossy screen somehow seems more reflective than my Macbook Pro and iMac--and FWIW I'm typing this with all three machines on my desk right now. However, I'm not too bothered by it. IIRC the 1080p configuration of the 9560 is matte.

I may be mistaken but my understanding was that touch panels can't reduce glare as effectively as non-touch because they need oleophobic treatment in addition to anti glare treatment, and this is why MacBooks of all flavors have better glare mitigation than touch-equipped laptops.
The irony that is that I don't want touch or glossy but I do want 4k.
