Does the Dell G15 (5511) have Linux support?

Question

Hello.

I'm planning on getting the Dell G15 (5511). But I would like to know if the Linux support in there is good.

The less powerful Dell G15 (5510) has an option to have Ubuntu 20.04 pre-installed in it. And there's drivers available to the RTX 3050 as well as the RTX 3060 for Linux. So I have good reason to believe most hardware is available out of the box.

But I would like to know if anyone with the Dell G15 (5511) had any experience with Linux, and if the hardware was supported out of the box, if there were any issues, if the performance was good, etc.

Thanks.

Hello. The driver files on the support site under Ubuntu 20.04 OS are exe files. I couldn't see Ubuntu (Debian) specific files. Thanks.

Edited my comment because I realized this was a different model than my experience and I can't delete it.
