  Is this website out of date?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
  1 project | /r/archlinux | 2 Mar 2023

  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
  1 project | /r/linux | 6 Dec 2022

  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 )

• MacBook Pro w/ Touch Bar compatibility
  1 project | /r/linuxmasterrace | 4 Sep 2022

  According to https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux the touch bar is "partially working". That link's got tons more information so check that out.

• Can I boot Linux from flash drive on MacBook?
  1 project | /r/linuxhardware | 23 May 2022

  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?
  1 project | /r/archlinux | 15 May 2022

  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?
