so many laptops use hardware that isn't very compatible with linux and makes it a pain in the ass

It's 2016, not 2002. Linux had support for Intel Skylake graphics before the CPU even came out. Any new laptop will run linux just fine. BSDs are a problem, though.

been considering a dell xps 13 but slightly concerned about build quality/longevity issues and they're pretty expensive.

This x240 (among other newer laptops) have had issues with their touchpad or keyboard on linux.

I have an almost 3 yo Inspiron and never had a single problem with it. A XPS should be even better.

I got a P50 just several weeks ago, only thing that doesn't work is the fingerprint sensor.

>>55308769
Almost any of them.
On my laptop (Elitebook 8560W) only two things did not work out of the box: backlight control via Fn keys and tap-to-click on trackpoint.
First one solved easy by adding shit to the GRUB-file, second one seems I can't do anything about. Which sucks balls for me since I tend to use that a lot. It's not unuseable, it's just an annoyance.
Most laptops would work flawless though. Especially those without 'special' things like said trackpoint (which they call a TouchStyk, it's not a Thinkpad trackpoint)

Oh, three things... fingerprint scanner as well. No drivers seem to exist for this particular model. And I don't have the skill or the time to write my own.

>>55308769
xps 13 developer edition comes from factory with ubuntu suport

>>55308769
keep in mind you need to run the latest kernels to fully support the "new" intel cpus and integrated graphics

Dell with Ubuntu
