I have a Alienware 13 R2 w/OLED screen, i7 6500u, 16GB DDR3, Intel HD 520, NVidia GTX 965M, Killer E2400 NIC, Killer 1535 Wifi/BT, and 2x M.2 NVME drives
It is running LL 4.4
The issues I have are the screen brightness I can't turn down.
The touchpad gets really strange as it jumps and freezes.
The battery time lasts under 2hrs but while in windows lasts almost 6-7hrs.
Attached system report.

All fixable. There are a ton of Alienware linux hacks on the internet. Just Google search your make and model with the word Ubuntu and you're good to go. Also consider attaching a Lite System Report to your post.

Everything now works except the brightness for the OLED screen. None of the tutorials worked.

Apparently a lot of revisions for the firmware on the thunderbolt port made a HUGE help for the dell TB16 docking station!
