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.

been wanting to install Linux on my MacBook but no Linux distros drivers ever work
This worked on my 2020 Macbook Pro: https://github.com/mikeeq/mbp-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.

Boot Macbook to USB Linux
You need kernel patches to run linux well on those macs. You’ll probably need to use https://github.com/mikeeq/mbp-fedora/releases/tag/v5.13.12-f34-mbp15

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.
