I have a Dell xps 13 (9370) and I'm trying to fresh install Ubuntu 18. Didn't know that developer edition existed. But I can't get the usb to show up in the bios. I know that I partitioned it properly, but I can't figure out why it isn't showing up or being recognized at all.

According to: New XPS 13 (9370) USB Port question

Your laptop will only boot a live USB plugged into the right hand port.

The ports on the left support Thunderbolt 3; the port on the right does not. As a result, the left-hand ports may be disabled at boot time unless you enable Thunderbolt boot support in the BIOS. I would have thought that option would only affect devices that actually try to communicate over the Thunderbolt protocol, but recent threads have indicated that this option also affects whether regular USB-type devices connected to those ports are visible at boot time.

Disbale the secure boot in BIOS and change the boot mode to legecy. You will these options in BIOS->BOOT tab. After changing the setting restart your system and go in boot menu. You will find your usb option there.
