But if Windows just isn't your preferred operating system, now there's another option to choose from: Linux. As part of its commitment to the platform (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/19/dell-to-ship-xps-13-with-ubuntu-linux-in-some-areas/), which took off with the introduction of Project Sputnik (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/08/project-sputnik-dell-ubuntu-developers/), Dell's announced a Ubuntu-based developer edition (http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2015/04/09/the-new-xps-13-developer-edition-now-officially-available) of its sleek 13-inch laptop. Naturally, you'll have a myriad of configurations to choose from, with prices ranging from $949 all the way to $1,849, depending on how specced out you want your Linux machine to be.
