        Not to that point, yet. But yes, it has one.

          Fedora is not on the official support list, but CentOS is. Oddly, Dell lists only outdated, and not fully working Ubuntu, but Ubuntu has info that their latest release(s) work fine.

            Official support is kinda worthless

            So I guess you'll need to use something that is officially supported (that works) unless you can find something else that works, as...

            what actually works is far more important.

              @scottalanmiller New installation? If so, was it a netinstall?

                You'll thinking that using the DVD version might work better?

                  No, I'm thinking it would work better if it was the net installed version. If this is the DVD version, and first boot before updates have been applied, then the newer packages may fix the issue.

                      You need what works. With the RoG, I'm the one doing the testing. In this case, I don't want a remote tech testing one OS after another to see what works.

                        Is this a UEFI install?

                            Choose the option that says "Troubleshoot & Install Fedora 28", you'll need to "arrow down" once

                                Do you really want to force an OS onto a production system when it won't just go on cleanly like it should? You really think that's good for stability? I'd just try Fedora 27, and if that doesn't work, the latest version of CentOS that Dell officially supports. It's not worth the hassle and potential instability.

                                  Yup, already asked them to do this a while ago.

                                    That's pretty much how all systems are if you want to keep them patched and updated. Just how IT works. Dell doesn't "officially" support much current, and those things won't be current soon.

                                        Why 27? Is there something about 27 that should make it work better here?

                                          I'm assuming 28 doesn't go because it's "too new", and that 27 will work. Why would CentOS work but not Fedora in that case?

                                            RHEL 7 is from Fedora 19.
