It does look like there is support for pretty modern kernels out-of-tree, & there is a repo with binary firmware, so I wouldn't be shocked to hear that XPS13s and most IPU6 systems work pretty ok. I'm not sure what the IPU6 folks see as their path to getting upstreamed, or whether they intend to keep just floating along out of kernel for a bit. But they are hit or miss across different divisions. They have enormous dedication to getting drivers out there & making systems work well, in a way very few companies compare against.

Here's a well known kernel maintainer warning people off last August: Fedora has this out of kernel tree in driver.
