Help please. I cant get the touch bar for my Macbook pro 2016 to work
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.

Merge tag 'arm-Apple-M1-5.13' of Linux
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).

Installing Debian on a Macbook
IIRC, I made a couple changes to the login config file to enable sleep on lid close. Followed the official page to setup the WiFi driver, and this for the webcam. You might want to check out setting up DKMS for the drivers. Early on I couldn't figure out why updating the kernel causes my WiFi driver to cease working, that was the solution I found.

Using Linux Mint as Main OS on 2015 Macbook Pro
I am currently using Debian on my MacBook Air. The broadcom wifi card driver is not in the official repository so I had to use an external wifi dongle when first installing the OS. You might also encounter issues with the webcam, so this link might help. I am also using mbpfan to help with heating issues. Other than that, I haven't had any issues.
