Kernal Updater

Then again, there is always https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh that can install the mainline version for you.

You need to upgrade your kernel to 5.16 or later, you can use a handy dandy script to update it for you, such as https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh the latest version should be fine.

There's also a nice bash script you can use that will patch your kernel to a newer version on Ubuntu I've used

https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh

If you use anything Ubuntu based you can use this: https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh to install the latest kernel

ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh is your friend! https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh

I'm not really in the fond for compiling myself the kernels so I use this https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh

Try Ubuntu Server. I am not quite sure why you would need a rolling release - if you want speed and the latest kernel use the ubuntu kernel update script: https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh. Highly reccomend the low-latency kernels for desktop systems, but generic should give more bandwidth in a server (not that the system you have will have a bunch of that, but, ya know).

Download the .deb files from here (try the “alt” ones first) https://github.com/marcosfad/mbp-ubuntu-kernel/releases/tag/v5.7.19 and use sudo apt install FILENAMEHERE.deb.

You can use the mbp-ubuntu kernel, although it has not yet been updated with newer patches that are in mbp-arch, but you can build a kernel with those parches as described here. That keyboard/trackpad driver, apple-bce, is not in the main kernel yet. There are instructions for installing it as a dkms module here. In general, the t2linux wiki and the t2 linux discord server (linked to in the wiki a lot) are where the most up to date info on running linux on t2 macs is.

You’ll need to install an efi bootloader, i.e. grub, on a fat32 partition. If there’s an efi system partition on your external drive, then use that You probably will also want this patched kernel and keyboard trackpad audio and touchbar drivers, as described here.

If I remember correctly on my 2019 13” everything was working quite well except for the audio which would only output to the speakers and the wifi/Bluetooth not working. Battery was fine for me I can’t remember having to charge it more often than usual. Ubuntu on Touchbar Mac
