I bought a dell xps15 circa 2017 and it is god awful with Linux. I will never buy another dell ever again.

Not to mention they sell proprietary parts and couldn’t sell me a replacement ac adapter for my docking station. They wanted to force me to buy a new docking station instead of just purchasing an AC adapter… Horrible company and horrible compatibility.

So if I have been using arch with infected xz library to connect to a Debian LTS server, am I compromised?

Is it really that much detached from macOS though? They can dist to Mac then Linux shouldn’t be much different, right?
