I attempted to move to Ubuntu on my XPS 13, but couldn't manage to get the DPI scaling to work properly. Weirdly, if I run Ubuntu in a VM under windows it scales fine.

There are still too many of these small problems to justify making the move for me fully.

Preach. Currently running Ubuntu 18.04 on an XPS 15, and it's been.... interesting. Disappointing, in some respects, as having set up the system to dual-boot into Windows 10 and having seen what the hardware can accomplish, I feel as if I've had to try remarkably hard to get close to that in a Linux environment.

I'm using Kubuntu on my XPS 15 for that reason. KDE seems to have the best DPI scaling of the Linux desktops.
