Installed Mint in a MacBook pro 16,1 and need help with touchbar
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
