if only the userbase of ubuntu users and people who paid more for the XPS linux edition cared.

But, no. I agree, it's not good but Dell has a history of doing this and other dodgy updates/implementations for their EFI.

But I did have a similar issue with Dell XPS 13's 9350, 9360 if I used a non -oem battery, on ubuntu and windows 10, immediate throttle even if I disabled speedstep. Only going to an OEM battery did it fix the issue - though I know 100% this is not related as the users are new laptop purchases.

Still my 9350 experience was great outside that.
