In this video, I cover the installation of Ubuntu 23.04 on a Dell XPS 13 2 in 1 Touchscreen Convertible Device with a WD19TB Thunderbolt Dock. In order for Ubuntu 23.04 to recognise the internal NVMe SSD, the Dell UEFI needs to be configured to use the AHCI SATA Operation as there is no Linux RAID Driver. A UEFI Boot with Secure Boot should also be enabled. Ubuntu 23.04 includes Linux Kernel 6.2, a modified GNOME 44 Desktop Environment and the Wayland Display Protocol. During installation the third-party drivers and multimedia codecs should be installed for maximum performance/usability. These are now all digitally signed to pass Secure Boot and there is therefore no need for a Machine Owner Key (MOK) like in previous versions.
