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?

Microsoft launches Surface Laptop 4
It's the other way around: Linux has some extra support for these laptops. And of course the place where extra support is required is the input devices. Despite Microsoft kinda pushing the industry to standardize on HID over I2C, they themselves now do HID over… uh… a custom protocol that runs over UART of all things.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/surface_ag...
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hid/hid.git/...
Well at least it is HID inside I guess.
Meanwhile Apple used a custom simple protocol over SPI for the Broadwell-Kaby Lake generations (and now Apple Silicon), but the few "T2" generations went back to USB… over some truly cursed custom T2 USB host controller https://github.com/MCMrARM/mbp2018-bridge-drv (WTF)

Also many Surface devices used awful Marvell Wi-Fi :/ At least the "Laptop 3" generation switched to Intel on Intel models and Qualcomm (seems like ath10k) on AMD ones.

No wonder more people don’t use Linux, trying to find a way to download this OS is impossible…

Installing Ubuntu to Mac vs Installing to a virtual machine, difference?
Hey all, I'm a bit new to Linux and want to learn about this new world as many different may be here. I have a Macbook Pro 2019 16in (Touchbar) and I want to install Ubuntu (I have 22.04 downloaded at this time). I found these instructions on installing Ubuntu to my similar model of laptop https://github.com/marcosfad/mbp-ubuntu. I saw another thread on an apple page and they suggested just installing Ubuntu on a VM instead for stability. I'm wondering what the difference would be for installing it on a VM vs my computer. Does anybody know of the benefits or consequences of this?

How secure would it be to use whonix on Ubuntu as a dual boot on Mac?
I’m wondering if using this guide to dualboot a specific patched version of Ubuntu to work on the newer Mac model I have would be safe security wise with using whonix? Or if I should just use a different machine and get qubes

Pop OS on 2020 Mac Mini?
I had all sorts of issues running every single popular distro (at least in my opinion) like Arch, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Pop, and even FreeBSD but I had 0 luck. Finally, I tried this iso with the patches included but no luck with WiFi.
