Best kernel modules and general setup for a 2017 MacBook Pro?
You don't compile the kernel from scratch to solve this problem normally, or should I say ideally, unless you're referring to aunali1/linux-mbp-arch.

Which non-stock kernel do you use? (if any)
I have a macbook with the T2 security chip, so a few patches are needed for most of the hardware: https://github.com/aunali1/linux-mbp-arch I dunno if there are many other computers like this where you need patches for hardware compatibility.
-
Upstream integration?
But when I look at the patches to support T2 Macs, most of them haven't even once been submitted to the Linux Kernel Mailing List for review (or am I missing some mail archive?)

Boot Macbook to USB Linux
The specific display issue you’ve described there is probably the one fixed by https://github.com/aunali1/linux-mbp-arch/blob/master/2001-drm-amd-display-Force-link_rate-as-LINK_RATE_RBR2-fo.patch (this patch is in mbp-fedora)

Linux on 2019 Macbook air
You need this kernel patch to prevent that overscan. Have a look at https://wiki.t2linux.org for how to get that without compiling the entire kernel.

Debian 11 on T2 macs
Does anyone happen to have info on how I might get things up and running? I have tried googling, but not finding much specific to Debian. What I have found points to MacBook Bridge/T2 Linux Driver, but my undersanding this is in the kernel from 5.7. Also found linux-mbp-arch but that is specific to arch, and wouldn't work on Debian yeah? Or could I run those patches against something to get a Debian compatible kernel?

Arch Linux on iMac 2019
I once installed Arch on a MacBookPro15,1 (2019). It worked but I was mainly experimenting with it rather than actually using it. I had to use a custom kernel https://github.com/aunali1/linux-mbp-arch but I think this is MacBook specific. WiFi, the touchbar and the Intel iGPU are among the things that caused me the most headache. Also, the keyboard and mouse don't work without the custom kernel. But I managed to get the system to work overall (incl. WiFi) and most of those issues don't affect iMacs, I guess.

Arch Linux on iMac 2019
As u/StoppedRedecorating mentioned, I had to get the firmware for the WiFi card from macOS. When I followed the guid it did not work for me, however. I then used a script to do it for me, which worked. I must have done something wrong when doing it manually. I can't remember which script it was. Probably this one: https://github.com/stefanpartheym/mbp15-wifi-driver I don't think that this information is very relevant for your iMac, though. I assume with 5k you mean the resolution. My MacBook operated at its native resolution which is not quite 4k. I was also able to operate an external screen at 5120 x 1440 @120, which, if my math is correct, is equal to 5k @60 in terms of bandwidth. I am not sure why the iMac would not work with 5k on Linux. According to my understanding, the GPU drivers should not be an issue. But I don't have any 1st hand experience.
