Suggest the workaround during installation. Since an increasing number of Dell systems exhibit this behavior, I imagine all Dells past a certain date will do so. I would like to suggest the workaround for all Dells with a BIOS date of, say, 2014 or later, but I would need to test a variety of systems before committing such a change.
