I have a Thinkpad P1, which I bought for Linux compatibility. I installed Ubuntu 20.04 on it and have had no issues. However I use the machine semi-strictly for development, and I have a Macbook where I keep my 100-tab browsing, video calls, and document authoring.
I previously had an XPS-13 and I ran into a lot of (minor) stuff where the computer would lock up and CPU would max out when having too many tabs open, or e.g. being on a zoom call and trying to alt-tab into g-suite in the browser.
Helpful to know about the XPS bugs. Sounds odd, with Apple I've grown so used to not having issues like that.
Sounds like OOM issues, nothing to do with the XPS per se...
Yes, I didn't mean to give the impression that it was an XPS specific issue, though I see how it looks like that's what I was saying. I've had similar memory issues, in particular using browser based applications like g-suite, on other linux machine as well
