I know that choosing a Linux distro can be a very personal choice, but try Ubuntu. Dell works directly with Ubuntu to make sure that the distro contains all the HW drivers for Dell laptops.
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS on a brand new Dell Inspiron and it flawless. I had to do NOTHING to except running the Ubuntu installer. Post install the only thing I found that did not work was MP4 video play back and that is because the codex is proprietary and so Ubuntu cannot ship the codec... I think all I had to do was to install the Ubuntu extras package.
