Is your BIOS current? I've recently been dealing with someone who had Linux problems on their HP laptop and discovered the BIOS had never been updated since new. A number of revisions since had been missed.

Regardless, I've been impressed with how Dell has embraced Linux, and I've seen fewer problems running Linux on Dell than HP. YMMV

I checked my BIOS and it is indeed older than the latest release. It was last updated before I switched to Linux.

Thank you for this comment. Updating my BIOS might resolve some issues with performance.
