Arch Linux on iMac 2019
As u/StoppedRedecorating mentioned, I had to get the firmware for the WiFi card from macOS. When I followed the guid it did not work for me, however. I then used a script to do it for me, which worked. I must have done something wrong when doing it manually. I can't remember which script it was. Probably this one: https://github.com/stefanpartheym/mbp15-wifi-driver I don't think that this information is very relevant for your iMac, though. I assume with 5k you mean the resolution. My MacBook operated at its native resolution which is not quite 4k. I was also able to operate an external screen at 5120 x 1440 @120, which, if my math is correct, is equal to 5k @60 in terms of bandwidth. I am not sure why the iMac would not work with 5k on Linux. According to my understanding, the GPU drivers should not be an issue. But I don't have any 1st hand experience.
