I checked, but I couldn't find out if Dell still has that Sputnik programme they did a few years back, where you could order one of these with Ubuntu LTS preinstalled. I'm wondering if everything "just works" yet.

They do indeed still have the Sputnik program running. Barton George (from Dell) still updates his blog[0] with status info[1].

They're now called "XPS Developer Edition"

They do, and with Dell being a private company as well as Dell (the man) being a Linux user (supposedly), it'll probably keep being a thing.
