> it works perfectly out of the box.

Did you install a specific version of Ubuntu or something? I have a recent XPS 15 that I installed 18.04 on, and I have had a fair number of problems. My USB-C hub (from Dell as well) doesn't work properly for USB pass through. My bluetooth headphones require me to connect, disconnect, and reconnect every single time to work properly. My wifi drivers will randomly disappear from time to time. And I have a scattering of other random issues with it.

Most of these feel like "minor" problems, as I can still work productively with my setup. But I definitely couldn't describe my experience as smooth.
