For a long time, Dell was the only major manufacturer to provide a Linux distro preinstalled on a few of its machines. The XPS 13 runs Ubuntu 20.04, while the Precision laptops and desktop workstations run Ubuntu 18.04. These are Dell's business-class computers.

Agreed.
I found out the hard way after many different BSD installation attempts that BSD doesn't have the hardware support that Linux does.
I should have figured that out already, but I'm a slow learner.

I was keeping at it with a faint hope that one day there would be a decent drivers. But it never occurred. After I read a blog by a programmer explaining why he decided to leave BSD for Linux, I finally convinced that it will go nowhere and decided to concentrate on Linux.

Yes - I bought a new MFD Kyocera printer scanner last year (Kyocera FS-1220MFP). Turns out it isn't recognised by Linux, Kyocera have no Linux driver, and even Vuescan can't work with it. So I either need to sell it on, and buy a new one, or switch to Windows every time I want to print or scan. Ouch.
