Hi, are there any BIOS settings that one needs to change or grub file changes in case of Dell XPS if I am uninstalling my windows and replacing it with Budgie 20.04?
It’s a different model with an older kernel. However there are a bunch of stuff you need to consider.
My advice is to write a 20.04 image to a USB and test the wifi and bluetooth.
The newest nvidia drivers will be automatically installed as long as you tick the wifi and graphics checkbox during the install.
If you have a single SSD in your XPS and intend to dual boot Win 10 and Ubuntu Budgie then you will have a problem. The Ubuntu installer won’t recognize your SSD until you switch your disk setting in the BIOS from RAID to AHCI. Unfortunately, once you do this Windows 10 will not boot. I used option 1 as outlined in the link below.
I just need to do a single boot and completely uninstall windows
Good, then you will only need to switch your disk setting in the BIOS from RAID to AHCI.
