Ubuntu/Mint/Debian kernel 5.6+ with Apple T2 patches built-in. This repo try to keep up with kernel new releases.
We release 2 alternative kernels: "mbp" which includes all patches from Aunali1's linux mbp arch which should work in mostly everywhere and an alternative release ("mbp-16x-wifi") which includes all patches from Jamlam's mbp-16.1-linux-wifi which should allow you to use the internal wifi on Macs that came with BigSur pre-installed.
!! Note for kernel 5.7:
The releases of the kernel 5.7: The "mbp" release did not include the patch 2001 (drm amd display force link-rate) of Aunali's. The mbp-alt included all patches**.
!! Warning:
It seems, that the kernel 5.8 is not working as smooth as the 5.7 branch. If you experience problems while installing or running the linux in your mbp, try using an older Kernel.
Drivers included:
