I've been running Ubuntu 13.10 on an 2012 XPS 13 for a while now. The only time I have noticed that the laptop runs hot is when I have it in my lap, because it's pretty easy to cover up the fan inlets on a non-uniform surface. On a flat surface I haven't had any issues though.

Overall I really like it for web development. Everything I've tried works out of the box (volume control, brightness, webcam, etc) with Ubuntu. Before that I was running Arch, with limited success in getting brightness and resume from suspend to work.
