Is there anything a Ubuntu 18.04 user (upgraded from the preinstalled
Dell XPS Ubuntu 16.04) can do without manually replacing kernels and
possibly compromising laptop bootability?

This is what I'm currently running:

$ uname -a
Linux dell-desktop 4.15.0-91-generic #92-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 28 11:09:48 UTC 
2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is what iwconfig claims:

$ iwconfig 
lo        no wireless extensions.

wlp2s0    IEEE 802.11  ESSID:"AndroidAPCC99"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.422 GHz  Access Point: 66:89:F1:8F:8C:99   
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=70/70  Signal level=-24 dBm  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:51   Missed beacon:0

In practice, I get up to 20 Mb/s UL/DL when communicating with an FTP
server on my phone (both my laptop and the phone support 802.11ac).
Another laptop easily reaches 50 Mb/s in the same scenario.
