If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website.

Quite good advice.

Is this what the internet felt like? in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

TL;DR: I've got a 2019 Macbook Pro, installed Linux Mint and I can't use the touchbar.

$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name
MacBookPro16,1

Decided to install Linux Mint, with the help of this awesome website: https://t2linux.org/

My problem is I nuked the whole disk and the osx installation, so every time the instructions require to login in osx, I simply can't.

I was able to download the wifi firmware from here: https://github.com/AdityaGarg8/Apple-Firmware So, wifi works fine.

But touchbar doesn't work:

$ journalctl -k --grep=touchbar

If I do these steps:

$ sudo modprobe -r apple-touchbar
$ sudo modprobe apple-touchbar

Then I got:

$ sudo journalctl -k --grep=touchbar

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
