    Download the .deb files from here (try the “alt” ones first) https://github.com/marcosfad/mbp-ubuntu-kernel/releases/tag/v5.7.19 and use sudo apt install FILENAMEHERE.deb.

    have a look at https://wiki.t2linux.org for instructions on getting linux on those macs. If you want popos, install it with an external keyboard, then install the mbp ubuntu kernel https://github.com/marcosfad/mbp-ubuntu-kernel , and the apple-bce dkms module (look at the dkms page on that wiki). For wifi, you’ll need a different kernel as your macbook came with macos catalina (the wifi firmware format changed). You can try this debian package which I compiled but i don’t have a debian system to see if it installs properly
  • Debian 11 on T2 macs

    You can use the mbp-ubuntu kernel, although it has not yet been updated with newer patches that are in mbp-arch, but you can build a kernel with those parches as described here. That keyboard/trackpad driver, apple-bce, is not in the main kernel yet. There are instructions for installing it as a dkms module here. In general, the t2linux wiki and the t2 linux discord server (linked to in the wiki a lot) are where the most up to date info on running linux on t2 macs is.
  • Is it usable to boot OSX from an external drive and install Linux on main drive?

    If I remember correctly on my 2019 13” everything was working quite well except for the audio which would only output to the speakers and the wifi/Bluetooth not working. Battery was fine for me I can’t remember having to charge it more often than usual. Ubuntu on Touchbar Mac
