From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's definitely an unusual setup but not that much unusual.
Not sure if it helps but I also had trouble with my Dell XPS and I tried a bunch of distros and their variants, and the only one that worked flawlessly out of the box was Fedora. And not the KDE version, GNOME was better. Give it a try, it's really a great distro all by itself too.
