Question for those running Linux on a Dell XPS 13 with a 4k display. What distro do you use? I tried using Ubuntu 16 but had to uninstall it due to absolutely terrible battery life and heat.

Ive been doing fine using the Linux subsystem for windows, but I kinda wanted to give Linux another go and dual boot just for the heck of it.

question

suggestions

linux

distro

dell xps

    I went with Manjaro i3 because I needed something more stable than Arch Linux. xfce is another good DE if battery life is a big concern.

    @starrynights89 I was also looking at manjaro, are you satisfied with it?

    Fedora with Gnome desktop. You need to scale the font separately using gnome-tweaks.

    @DanijelH It's more modern then other Linux distros and also more stable. You get the best of both worlds and it's my favorite all around distro.
