Last time I tried a Dell over a year ago I could only install its approved Linux's on it - Ubuntu (and maybe Red Hat or CentOS, don't recall exactly). Likely due to the custom motherboard, but it felt very locked down. Whereas if I spec and build my own workstation or laptop from XoticPC or similar, any distro will work with it. Anyone else familiar with this issue? Is it still a thing?
