Update:

I talked to the Dell support today, to get to speak to ProSupport. Turns
out I am required to have purchased specifically the "developer edition"
and not a random Dell XPS 13, else my Ubuntu issues don't justify a
refund. Nice.

But the support people were helpfull in that they found out, that the
"developer edition" is advertised to have a different wifi chipset
compared to the windows versions. The Ubuntu ones have the 6230 and not
the 6235:

These chips are really different:

Could anyone who reported these problems, tell me whether they
explicitly bought the "developer edition", or installed Ubuntu by
himself? Also, which chip does your Dell have? 6230 or 6235?
