Well that sucks. I haven't bought an XPS since the Dell XPS 15z like over a decade ago, but still, the idea that I could buy an XPS Developer Edition laptop and have it be Linux compatible without having to think about it was nice. Now I'm limited to ThinkPads and System76 plus whatever other compatible Clevos there are or maybe a Framework, which I guess is fine since I do own multiple ThinkPads.

Still, really weird decision.

They're not actually getting rid of the XPS line, they're just changing the naming convention.

Any of the new Dell models with 'Premium' in the name are going to be the same as the Dell XPS line.

Asus ROG series to MSI seems interesting this CES, personally don’t see much problem with compatibility through Pop!_OS
