I've just got a Dell XPS 15 (9590) at work and need to set up a stable GNU/Linux system on it. I thought of CentOS7, but.. obviously its kernel can't run on this hardware.
What would you recommend? Waiting for CentOS8 is not an option unless it's a question of few weeks. Are there respins of the CentOS7 DVDs w/ more top-recent kernels? I'm know of Fedora 26 or course, and not willing to switch to Ubuntu 16.10 at all.
Hey, I just tried googling, and I cannot find a 9590, only 9550. You sure of that?
It's simply a typo: 9560. I've read of 9550 successful stories, but none of 9560 yet.
Oh, and will it boot without UEFI from a flash drive?
It's UEFI, I get the boot menu, but it won't go further.
