Keyboard issues - 2015 MBP 12,1
I was able to install very easily, booted into the Ubuntu 21.10 live USB, shredded the existing drive then installed. Everything is working wonderfully, except for the trackpad and keyboard. Can't for the life of me get this thing to work. I've already tried the spi driver installation via git found here, but couldn't get it to work.

Dysfunctional trackpad and wifi card on Macbook Pro (2017) on Linux mint
From the information above from inix and inix -N there are my specs and network specs. To fix my wifi stuff, I have tried several articles and mint threads for installing packages like firmware-b43-installer and also removing other packages in contrast with sudo apt remove broadcom-sta-dkms bcmwl-kernel-source. However there is applespi and I think this is the ticket, but I don't know how to fully install it. Specifically besides installing the DKMS module. I also need to make sure my kernel I believe loads two modules:

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.
