mbp-2016-linux VS macbook12-spi-driver

Is this website out of date?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.

Check this site for the status of Linux support on different Macbook models

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

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

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 )

According to https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux the touch bar is "partially working". That link's got tons more information so check that out.

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.

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?

Hello. I recently picked up a macbook and decided to install ubuntu to it. I'm still quite green with linux in general and I'm having difficulty trying to get the touch bar to work. I spent hours just getting Wi-fi, sound etc. to finally work and its the last thing that is not functioning. I tried using the dkms installer for this https://github.com/roadrunner2/macbook12-spi-driver and i get this error. I have been looking for ages trying to figure out what is causing the problem. Any help would be appreciated and if I have posted in the wrong subreddit, please let me know and direct me to where i should go to seek help.

I am on Fedora trying to install applespi modules for my macbook to provide support for it's touchbar with linux etc. Here is the distro where I install there stuff with dkms https://github.com/roadrunner2/macbook12-spi-driver/.l

I don't think this works with 2019 or later Intel Macbooks, but as far as I know the most recent relevant information and drivers are here: https://github.com/roadrunner2/macbook12-spi-driver. In my own experience, it's the trackpad, keyboard, and built-in speakers that don't work, but everything else seemed to be fine (2015 macbook).

Trackpad (a workaround to use an external mouse, or install the driver here: https://github.com/roadrunner2/macbook12-spi-driver
