    Ubuntu certification means that all the components in the computer will work well with Ubuntu out of the box. As a certified device, the Dell XPS 13 Plus Developer Edition will receive specific software and drivers that dont typically come with Ubuntu as long as they are required. These devices may also run a different Linux kernel to ensure the best performance.

    You Can Now Buy the Dell XPS 13 Plus With Ubuntu Linux 22.04

    Dell was already selling an XPS 13 Plus Developer Edition, which was largely unchanged from the Windows-powered XPS 13 Plus that arrived earlier this year, except that it comes with Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS instead of Windows. Starting this August, Dell will ship the XPS 13 Plus Developer Edition with a newer Ubuntu 22.04 LTS software experience, and people who already bought the Developer Edition will [08:51] schestowitz receive the same optimized update.

    That obviously goes for the machines sold as Developer Editions with Linux out of the box but also applies if youre installing a new OS on a machine that originally shipped with Windows 11. Marketing exec Barton George was one of the people at Dell behind Project Sputnik. In a 2019 interview with Forbes, he explained that the Developer Edition branding is intentional, applied to keep people from [08:51] schestowitz accidentally buying a Linux laptop to save a few bucks and getting an unexpected experience. These days Dell ships Ubuntu on many other machines and other flavors of the XPS line, including its redesigned XPS 13 standard bearer so it feels unlikely that the certified list will stay this short forever.
