    Install a windows first just to launch the Dell Command Update app (you'll have to download it from the Dell website) and use it to update the BIOS and Intel firmwares.

    These laptops even run badly on win10 until you update everything.

    Then install your chosen distro. I bet there will be fewer problems then.








    • W10Privacy (works on both win 10 and 11)
    • I never connect with M$, only a local account. When installing Win11 type Shift+F10 to get a console then type cd oobe bypassNRO.cmd It'll give you access to a local account option.
    • NextDNS for a system wide ads and tracker filtering
    • I've recently switched my mp3 player from AIMP to Dopamine
    • WinCDEmu (outdated but still useful)
    • OnlyOffice Desktop Editors for my clients who can't understand any UI different from MS Office...
    • Firefox/Thunderbird
    • ImageGlass
