This is more for my personal use as I needed a place to drop this ,but if its helpful for you – enjoy! I have been fiddizzling with a Dell XPS 15 and trying to get a modern version of Kubuntu to work on it.

You may ask – Hey, how am I supposed get these packages if my wifi isnt working and my laptop doesnt have an physical ethernet port. The easiest thing to do is to connect your phone via USB, enable USB tethering in your settings and Abracadabra Peanut Butter sandwiches… you have connectivity.
sudo apt install git sudo apt install build-essential cd ~ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git cd backport-iwlwifi make defconfig-iwlwifi-public make -j4 sudo make installsudo git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git cd linux-firmware sudo cp iwlwifi-* /lib/firmware/ After a quick reboot you should have a working Wifi 6 and Bluetooth interface.
