Earlier, I purchased Dell Inspiron 7490. But I (and our team) could not install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on it due to unsupported Intel RST drives. Further, when I switched to AHCI mode on startup, the disk is not visible. I searched a lot for this on the Net. Most of the sites said that it is not possible including this link: Install Ubuntu on Dell Inspiron 14 7490

So, I gave up on the installing Ubuntu on Inspiron 7490 and returned the laptop. I lost a lot of time in this process.

Now, I am planning to buy Dell Latitude 7310. I want to have ensure that I will be able to install Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 LTS. Has anyone in this forum has successfully been aboe to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on Dell Latitude 7310? If yes, could you share the BIOS firmware version (sudo dmidecode -t BIOS)?

The dell website says that they support they support Ubuntu® 18.04.3 LTS on Dell Latitude 7310: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-in/drivers/supportedos/latitude-13-7310-2-in-1-laptop

Thanks in advance.

I am getting back to this in a delayed manner. I was successfully able to install Ubuntu 20.04 on Dell Latitude 7310. So far, everything has worked well.

I had some difficulties with HP printer setup. But after some digging around, I found the answer to that as well.

Thanks!
