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).

Nice
Is this website out of date?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.

how can I install arch on my slightly older macbook
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

On Replacing My MacBook Air M1 with a ThinkPad T480
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

Suggest an "ideal" distro for installation on an Apple Macbook Pro
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 )

Can I boot Linux from flash drive on MacBook?
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.

Is there absolutely no way to get wifi working on a MacBook Pro 16,1?
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?
What are some alternatives?
