I have Ubuntu running on Dell xps 13 9360.

Ubuntu Software Update is telling me there is an update for my BIOS, the update is here.

In the link this is reported:

Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes:
- Fixed incorrect Windows operating system logon message.

Since I don't have Windows installed, should I skip this update or is it better to install it anyway?

Skip the BIOS update. If it isn't broken don't fix it. You can put a package named for example package-name on hold with the following command:

echo package-name hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections

This command will hold back package-name from being updated.
