Unshaky VS mbp-2016-linux

If the sticky keys come back, you can use software like this to mitigate it reasonably well.

I use Unshaky as it fixes the issue entirely on my 2016 13”. Maybe that could be mentioned to a possible buyer?

I have an M1 now and it is glorious but back when I had the MBA with the butterfly keys, someone pointed me to https://github.com/aahung/Unshaky and it helped eliminate 99% of the double-typing or ghost keys. You will have to tweak the ms until you find the right number that fits your typing speed but once you get it all setup, the butterfly keyboard will become much more tolerable.

Or.. you could just swap it for an M1. :)

In case you didn't know there's an app which did resolve most of the problems for me, when I had the MacBook with the butterfly keys: https://github.com/aahung/Unshaky

I believe there’s software for detecting and removing double typed letters. It was developed for people suffering the same issue on butterfly keys. Google for it. Here’s one app example.

I found this: https://unshaky.nestederror.com

Unshaky is exactly what you're looking for

If your issue's double key presses, you can install Unshaky, then open the app's settings and set the delay to 40 or 50 ms (depending on how fast you type).

You can try https://github.com/aahung/Unshaky

I think i found something for it... maybe it's : https://github.com/aahung/Unshaky/releases

Is this website out of date? Saying audio and wifi not working on several models still. Looks like it was updated a few years ago though.

Check this site for the status of Linux support on different Macbook models

I ran arch on a macbook (14,3 i think) for a few years and in addition to the wikis, this guide was useful: https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux especially the link to wifi issues which got mostly solved with some hex editing: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193121

That used to be a good solution in like 2015, but there are generations of Macbooks whose Linux support never includes working WiFi or audio: https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux

So far I'm underwhelmed, mostly because of the (understandable) limited support of Apple hardware, e.g., Touch Bar, Touch ID, etc. (As an aside, I've found this GitHub repo very helpful: https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux )

According to https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux the touch bar is "partially working". That link's got tons more information so check that out.

To boot from a USB stick, simply hold down Option after you turn the computer on and wait for the USB to show up in the boot picker. That said, all MacBooks after 2016 don't really have the best hardware compatibility with Linux due to missing drivers.

According to this, there's no supported firmware for the BCM4364 card. Does this mean I have no hope of using Arch without an ethernet cable? Is there any way to revert back to MacOS and take the firmware from there?
