Nice
Is this website out of date?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.

how can I install arch on my slightly older macbook
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

On Replacing My MacBook Air M1 with a ThinkPad T480
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

Suggest an "ideal" distro for installation on an Apple Macbook Pro
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 )

Can I boot Linux from flash drive on MacBook?
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.

Is there absolutely no way to get wifi working on a MacBook Pro 16,1?
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?

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:
