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.

8,1 iMac overheating on Linux Mint 21.2
Download mbpfan (zip or tar.gz version are the same, choose one) and extract it wherever you want. Despite the name, it works on any Intel Mac.

Also, you can change fan curves with mbpfancontrol

Linux on late 2013 MBP
I run my 2013 with the intel gpu kernel blacklisted and the nvidia 470 graphics drivers. The virtual TTYs and wayland don’t work but everything else works fine. For the fan/cpu stuff you can look at https://github.com/linux-on-mac/mbpfan

Ubuntu 20.04.4 on an old Macbook Pro
Check out mbpfan. Although, overheating on an 360p video sounds very wrong even without mbpfan, I've never had such problems. I suggest disassembling and checking out thermal paste.
- Installed on a late 2014 Mac mini

Using Linux Mint as Main OS on 2015 Macbook Pro
I am currently using Debian on my MacBook Air. The broadcom wifi card driver is not in the official repository so I had to use an external wifi dongle when first installing the OS. You might also encounter issues with the webcam, so this link might help. I am also using mbpfan to help with heating issues. Other than that, I haven't had any issues.

Mac Mini 2014 or RPi 4
Free and easy to install: https://github.com/linux-on-mac/mbpfan

Suggested Raspberry PI
I would also suggest installing mbpfan whenever running non-macOS on Apple hardware.
