@larskghf Thanks for sharing, I've been having all sorts of problems with the regular 20.04 install (wifi, battery life, touchpad).
Does this gist fix all problems for you? Also, will the various dell focal-* repos work side by side with the canonical focal and focal-security repos? Or do I have to use dell.archive.ubuntu.com for focal and focal-security as well?
