Yea, yea, I know. The one time I just assume it'll be fine, because Dell sold a developer edition of the 9315 with ubuntu pre-installed. Then I receive it and find the linux support is a total kludge with custom drivers and disabling most of the power management features in the BIOS.

Its pretty easy to do a compatibility check on forums before purchasing. My IdeaPad Gaming works flawlessly with Manjaro, even supports the charging settings and performance modes.
