I got my brand new XPS 13 (9370) yesterday. I'm interested to do test Leap 15 if I get neccessay guidance here, because I want to run Leap on it beside Ubuntu (and Windows10 for special cases) on what to do. But I don't want to change the pre-installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to not break the Dell support....
Does Dell actually offer any particular support?
You need to carve out some space for Leap15 - this depends on the current partitioning of your new machine, maybe resizing a filesystem. Then you install Leap15 and add it to the bootloader. I don't have any multi-boot machines myself, but there is plenty of howtos and documentation on it.
The alternative is replacing the hard disk with a new one and storing the original safe, just in case you need the warranty.
The hardware is obviously 100% supported by Ubuntu LTS, so you should have no issues with Leap15.
The exception is, when the manufacturer adds some specific driver for themselves, not passed upstream to the kernel. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
