XPS 13 9310 & Ubuntu 20.04

Hi,

On the Dell US site one can buy a XPS 13 laptop with Ubuntu 20.04:
https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-laptops-and-notebooks/new-xps-13-developer-edition/spd/xps-13-9310-laptop/ctox139w10p2c3000u?view=configurations
Specs can be adapted up to 32Gb Ram and the latest 11th Gen Intel CPUs.

Too bad, on the Belgian Dell site, the only XPS Developer edition is an old version (7390) that comes with Ubuntu 18.04, is limited to 16 Gb, and has a 10th gen Intel CPU.

There is, however, a Windows version with decent specs for the new XPS 9310, but the Killer AX500 Wifi that comes with this one seems to be unsupported under linux:

Anyone any experience installing stock Ubuntu 20.04 on the latter one?
Or any Dell employee active on this forum that can shed a light on whether and when a high-end spec XPS 13 with Ubuntu 20.04 wil be available for purchase via the Belgian site?
