I have a 7th generation as well. I had an issue with screen flicker, but I sent it back and the fixed it promptly (for free) and its been fine since.

Otherwise, its been very good. I used this guide to set up the dual boot with https://www.mikekasberg.com/blog/2020/04/08/dual-boot-ubuntu..., with some small changes because that is a dell machine.

I have the UHD display and the type is a bit small, but the scaling works well.

The only thing that is a little flaky is the fingerprint reader. The battery, with Ubuntu, is not great, but fine for my uses.
