= Dell XPS 15 9570 =

== Tested Hardware ==

* CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 4.10GHz
* RAM: 32 GB
* HDD: 512 GiB SSD
* Screen: 15.6" FHD(1920x1080) non-touchscreen
* Graphics: NVIDIA Corporation GTX1050 Ti Mobile 4GB GDDR5, with Intel Graphics too.
* Input: trackpad, bluetooth mouse and keyboard


== Firmware Configuration ==

Not much tweaking of NixOS itself was needed. But we currently cannot automate the firmware setup, so this must be done by hand.

== Installation ==

=== Before installation ===

These settings are needed both for booting the final install, and installer itself. Therefore, they must be done first.

* ''Disable Secure Boot (but keep UEFI Boot).'' Thankfully doing so is as easy as changing any other simple setting.

* ''Disable Intel hardware RAID and use AHCI instead.'' Intel doesn't seem to provide a working linux driver for this.  (If you just have SSD it's pointless and just slows things down needlessly anyways.)


=== After installation ===

* ''Add systemd-boot to UEFI boot list.'' The (uneditable anyways) settings mapping drive UUIDs to HD* work fine.
