Hi team,

I was wondering if/where/how this is available for Linux users! I have no windows on my Dell XPS 13 developer edition and can't run this file.

I thought this firmware upgrade only worked for the QHD panel? Jesse-L 's post suggests it also works for the FHD screen. I thought the FHD screen's firmware could not be updated? Can anyone from Dell provide offical confirmation please?
