Ubuntu 19.10 Provides Good Out-Of-The-Box Support For The Dell XPS 7390 Icelake Laptop

Can you test how well the Thunderbolt support works on kernel 5.4? I think the devs would appreciate some feedback and if you find issues it's not too late to open a bug report either.

Sounds like you didn't try thunderbolt? Support for it has been backported from 5.4, so unless there are bugs with this setup it should work.

That laptop looks like a toy...

Damn, I just bought the regular 7390 developer edition. Was a little afraid of the linux support for icelake , really liked the 16:10 screen on this one.

Ice Lake thunderbolt support has been backported to Ubuntu's 5.3 kernel that's used in 19.10, you should get it when you update the system. Please give it try.

Thanks, will give it a try. Looks like that kernel may have landed a day after I tried with the Dell TB Dock.

I've tried blacklisting the module on ubuntu 19.10, still no luck.
The only distro I have been able to boot, with or without blacklisting the intel_lpss, is Fedora 31. Problem is that the Live distro couldn't see any storage in the system, even after switching to AHCI instead of Raid in the bios.

Anyone have any insight on this? I'd love to get Linux running on this!

I wonder how I can set up the touchpad as close as possible to windows precision touchpad.
