I took the 2018 MacBook Pro and Made it My Bitch
Well actually, the Arch/Manjaro developers *did not* do this as the T2 Security Chip is not something the stock linux kernel is equipped to deal with. If you checkout https://t2linux.org/, you'll see the real heros of our story - the team who has been researching and developing custom drivers to work around this nightmare Apple has brought down upon us. Everything from rewriting kernel modules, to rewriting the Calamares installer itself - and even building custom drivers for things such as the Ambient light sensor and touch bar. As much as I love the Manjaro and Arch folks, no one as even come close to including this in the default installation. Check out https://github.com/jpyke3/mbp-manjaro-kernel as well :D

Which is your Laptop?
There is an Fedora iso with the kernel already patched with drivers here. https://github.com/mikeeq/mbp-fedora If you go here https://wiki.t2linux.org you’ll find instructions for other distros as well. There’s an Ubuntu kernel (which works in PopOS), Endeavour, Manjaro, also apple keyboard, touchbar, WiFi, audio drivers for whichever distro but you have to do them individually and go through some steps to copy the drivers from your Mac to the EFI, then from there to your Linux install. They made scripts to make it less of a pain. By far the easiest for me was the pre made ISO of Fedora.

Any tips for dual booting (or just getting rid of) MacOs?
I personally run https://github.com/mikeeq/mbp-fedora on my macbook pro 2019 I still dual boot because as stated in the notes you still need macos around to do certain updates and if the system fails you need it to recover the system. But it works surprisingly well, and Fedora is a solid distro.
