Possibly. Some XPS models (~9310) cheaped out on the WiFi chipset, which was really bad at reconnecting after sleep/suspend on Win 10/11 right out off the box.
Tried a live Linux install and it worked perfectly, so made the switch as there was no Win-only software that I needed.
Strange. One of them main reasons I wiped my Dell XPS OEM Windows and installed Linux was for -better- WiFi behaviour.
That might be one of the very few cases.

The first experience with anything can make a world of a difference ☺️. Good thing I’m stubborn 😂.
I have installed Ubuntu, Pop!, or Mint as a fix for wifi issues on laptops probably about a dozen times over the past 20ish years.
I have never had a wifi issue with linux. My husband has had issues with Linux and wifi in 2007. But that was 2007.
