I might be an outlier in the dev community, but I’m on my second Alienware 15" laptop running Ubuntu + Xfce and I really love it. It’s fast (my current laptop has an i9 in it), reliable, offers multiple possibilities for extensions and the new M form factor does pretty good when it comes to bulkiness.

Of course they are bigger than an XPS 13, but if you are like me and mostly work from office and home, it’s not really an issue.

Ho and it’s gaming-ready too (got a gtx2080 in my current laptop).

My previous laptop before that was the first gen of retina MBP (2012) and the only thing I miss from it is the almost double battery life I had over the Alienware.

Nope, you aren't alone. I run an Alienware 15r3. Manjaro + i3. I even went so far as to patch the Linux kernel to get the headset mic to work. Although I've been wanting an ultra ultra thin laptop lately.

Al my laptops are gaming type. They can work properly without overheating/throttling
