A suggestion for getting good old S3 sleep to work: enable the hack for reenabling S3 sleep in the Windows registry, then disable "Early Signs of Life / Dell Logo" in the BIOS. That said, I'd probably lose my mind if I had to run Windows on it. I mean, Crysis can even run on the thing. Upping the power limit to 25W (like the Windows / Dell "Ultra Performance" mode does) and it appears it can maintain that too. Its thermal profile is relatively aggressive by default but it should stay at 15W (and ~65 degree temps) indefinitely. Combined with a WD19TB dock (and a useful trick of flipping it around so it's an inverted L) it makes a great work from home setup. Really? I love my XPS 7390 2-in-1, it's the best laptop I've used and owned by far and that includes Macbooks. When you get past all these issues it's still Windows 10 which I just find to be the most annoying OS I've ever used. I've spent more time tweaking this thing, reading forums and reddit about how to make it perform DECENTLY than I did building my last hackintosh and I don't enjoy that experience ever. I had to do a bunch of black magic to get it to sleep properly (which is evidently happening to every Dell) and eventually gave up on that and just set it to hibernate any time the lids closed (it's 32gb so that adds about 30 seconds to the start up time). It throttles constantly even after undervolting it. I’m hoping we can change hearts one by one with this message: Arch is not scary it might solve the problems you’ve been having :D You will know how and why your computer works though and will not have to resort to the Ubuntu stack exchange (or their other communities) for the magic formula that will fix your issues. You have to recreate the fragile duct-taped components you get in other distros, which is an investment of time. Packages are updated on a rolling basis so there are a few instances every year where I need to manually intervene, but not major breakages every 2 years. I get the latest kernel with its bug fixes and hardware support. In Linux land, the mainstream distros ship with fragile duct-taped components that work if you’re lucky but are a complete pain to troubleshoot and are a bigger pain as time goes on and you have major upgrades.Īrch is the only sane distro with wide adoption and it’s a joy to use. Microsoft spends billions on Windows and vendors spend billions of their own to make sure hardware is mostly plug and play. They also don’t have the resources to support the wide variety of hardware out there. Most distros ship with broken old software and custom patches that make troubleshooting a nightmare. > Arch was the best distro I could find that used the latest kernel by default. Well, I will point you to fluffything’s response
