Ok, so I'm a student and in my free time, I mostly write a bit of python, C++ and a bit Haskell for fun...

I wanted to try out Android development now...

HOLY FUCKETY FUCK, THIS SHIT TAKES TIME!

most of the time, I get an idea, open vscode and start typing (maybe install some modules for like 10 minutes), not with this: Android studio took hours to download with all the needed SDKs and libraries, then I created a new empty(!) Activity, then fucking Gradle needs hours to get it fucking ready... On a fucking XPS 13 9370!

How do you guys cope with that waiting, does it scale that way to bigger projects?
I would call myself rather patient, but if I have an idea, I don't want to set up the most basic environment for 3 hours...

Man that shit is bulky...

Hey folks,

Is anyone using a Dell XPS 13 (9370)? This is the 2018/2019 model.

Is anyone of you also facing the thing that is gets extreme hot, when charging? And I really mean only when charging. Not hitting it with a Max load.
Mine gets as hot as it can possibly be and it starts thermal throttling.

On battery, everything is fine and the laptop is cool as ice.
Both situations are under normal load. Nothing heavy ... CPU mostly idle - rarely over 25% utilisation / thread.

I run Linux on it. Not Shure if it is a compatibly thing, this is why I am interested if others are having this issue.
