I was really unimpressed with mine. I've never quite figured out what got the XPS such a good reputation. By comparison, the lg gram Just Worked, though I don't know if they make a 13" model.
My last "PC" laptop experiment was a fully loaded XPS 15. It's probably the tech purchase I regret most in my life. I cannot fathom how that $3k laptop passes for high quality. Constantly runs hot so you're not even able to take advantage of the dedicated GPU since it's always throttling. Fans are almost always running full blast. Driver issues with what is supposed to be an amazing display ruined the entire experience. Not to mention the sleep / hibernation issues which require you to manually shut down your laptop before closing the lid or it's a 50/50 shot it will continue to run full power in your backpack cooking itself to death.
My XPS ran hot with Ubuntu 18.04 despite lots of attempts to under clock and such. However it runs like a dream under 22.04. I don't know what changed but it's a totally different machine. It's so slick and responsive it makes my M1 macbook feel sluggish. Really remarkable.
