That’s an interesting video but I don’t think the fault is entirely Dell’s - I
generally keep four browsers installed because, while I try to avoid IE and
Chrome, there are some web sites that don’t work without specific browsers and
add-ons. To update an old UNIX quote …
“Linux is very user friendly, it’s just very picky about who its friends are.”

Subject: Re: [brlug-general] Dell Linux laptop - anybody using it?
Not yet but I am eyeing that for my next laptop. USB C thunderbolt 3 with
charging capability is something I want on my next laptop. The upcoming refresh
to the MacBook Pro line may change my mind.
I have Dell's officially "supported" Ubuntu workstation at work. Once the
initial hardware issue with the new NVMe SSD was resolved by replacing the
whole workstation, the system has been rock solid. While Dell support did their
best to help, they lacked any in depth knowledge of Ubuntu or for that matter,
Linux subsystems. Still, I never though Dell would sell another system with
Linux after their last attempt at Linux on consumer laptops didn't go well.
