Cybernetic Vermin posted:like most laptops the xps series is improved by resetting windows the first thing you do (big button in control panel, asks if you want it to download a clean image from microsoft, gets you onto the windows update drivers dodging the Realtek garbage that's no doubt causing your issue). woah, i knew this would help but i'm surprised it's that easy kinda assumed i had to pirate an iso and make a usb key and all that poo poo

i had popOS on my xps 15 a few years ago and I remember it being pretty good. It would also do the no-wifi-from-sleep thing occasionally but it was a work computer so it was a welcome break usually i installed it originally because the windows install would periodically blast max volume static into my headphones because i unsinstalled the load-bearing audio bloatware

i always disable any lid actions. if i close the lid it just means i don't want to look at computer anymore, if i wanted it to sleep or hibernate or shut down i would've just chose that instead

i tried the "reset windows but keep files" thing and maxxxxxaudio is still here  edit: oh this is the right place to start: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/osiso/recoverytool/linux (make sure to choose advanced mode to get the normal win10 iso and not the horny-for-spyware dell version) Corla Plankun fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Jul 30, 2022 |

lmao i ordered a dell xps for work specifdically because i figured out how to wipe dells thanks to this thread, and the os recovery tool for windows 11 doesn't have the loving non-bloatware option

oh yeah win10 is better by any measure but linux is more fun for me and it's a work machine so it doesn't really matter if it works perfectly or not
