But I thought XPS developer edition was supposed to be aimed at Linux users, specifically Ubuntu.

I use i3, which would (edit:) not benefit from the touch screen from the get-go. Maybe I could configure it to react to touch events in a cool manner, like moving windowed stuff around with touch. Resizing with two fingers.

That might actually be pretty cool

I have an older Dell laptop with a 4K touch screen running Fedora 27. The touch screen works very well with Gnome and Chrome. So Linux users can get the same benefit that Windows users get.

well, as a developer they're giving you additional hardware to develop against so there's that case. But I think from the business standpoint, it probably doesn't make sense to have specific configurations for DE when being at or close to 1:1 with their Windows counterparts is probably easier in production.
