XPS 13 also a fantastic choice for linux. Everything works out of the box.
The latest-gen XPS 13 comes preloaded with ubuntu and works really well.
Dell XPS 13 9370, and it's fantastic with Ubuntu. At least 3 other developers at my office also have XPSs of varying generations
the XPS 13 runs linux perfectly.
I use a thinkpad carbon x1 with ubuntu and haven't had any issues.
I'm starting to think the new Dell xps 13 with Ubuntu is the way to go..
Dell XPS 13 (9360). I know, they sell those with Ubuntu pre-installed, but they are hard to come by in my country, so i bought Win10 version and installed Linux myself
Seconding - my X1 Carbon 7 runs Ubuntu with no tinkering whatsoever.
If you want to stick with Linux, I can vouch for Dell's XPS range. I've been running Ubuntu and Arch on various generations of XPS 13 for about 8 years now with minimal issues. Honestly, my work-issued Macbooks have been more problematic than my XPS laptops. It definitely helps that Dell actively support Ubuntu and provide kernel patches.
Pretty darn happy with my Dell XPS 13. Use Arch Linux instead of the included Ubuntu LTS, though.
