<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey all, </p> <p>I'm getting very close to pulling the trigger on an XPS 13 9310 (the 2020 edition). Tiger Lake i7, 32gb of RAM, 4K panel, etc. </p> <p>I saw <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dell_XPS_13_(9310)">the hardware page on the Wiki</a>, and read through it completely. It looks mostly fine. </p> <p>Before I go through with this, I just wanted to see if there were any 9310 users (specifically those with the 32GB RAM model because it comes with the AX500 wifi) on the <strong>latest</strong> kernel (5.15.12 as of this post, I believe) who had any experiences to share about the following: </p> <ul> <li>Battery life (I read some reports about S3 sleep being an issue?). I know, I'm getting a 4K panel, and that's likely to be far more of a drain than anything else, still would love to know about any other issues though!</li> <li>Wifi performance (I'm assuming this is fine with the latest kernel)</li> <li>How prevalent (if at all) those <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dell_XPS_13_(9310)#Random_Hangs_on_i915_with_kernel">random hangs on i915 are</a></li> <li>If possible, how KDE Wayland works on it, especially with an external monitor over Thunderbolt</li> </ul> <p>I'm hoping the distinct lack of issues/bugs/complaints in the last few months means that this will be a very solid machine to run Arch on. </p> <p>I have no desire to game on my laptop. It's primarily for heavy web browser usage, programming/development, and from time to time, video playback. </p> <p>Thank you very much in advance!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/FrozenCrunch"> /u/FrozenCrunch </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/rshb1r/arch_linux_on_xps_9310_in_20212022_looking_for/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/rshb1r/arch_linux_on_xps_9310_in_20212022_looking_for/">[comments]</a></span> |
