| I am not sure these points of yours are fully valid: > M2 SSD requires changing some BIOS preferences to work on Linux I never had to do this. That is weird. > Nvidia graphics card is a pain on Ubuntu. Do a Google search for nouveau.modeset This is true but it affects all computers Ubuntu with NVIDIA and Intel integrated graphics and is not unique to Dell laptops. This screws up our desktops at work that have integrated graphics. > The fans are on most of the time, even during idle. The machine isn't hot either - it just likes to run the fans I think you do not have the power mode drivers setup properly. Mine doesn't do that. > No Ethernet port unlike a T470. You need a USB adapter I use a USB-C docking station at my desks. Once you get a docking station that connects everything, including power via a single small USB-C you never go back. You just need a dongle when traveling. |
Which dock do you use?
