I apologise for having someone so low skilled reply here, but I don't suppose what I need to do, to get this working? Simply write a file to a path, that the OS will parse on boot?
I'm running Ubuntu 20.10, I'd give myself about a 3.5/10 to a 4 on the linux competency scale at best.
Macbook 13,1 (A1708)
NOTE: specifically the disabling of the touchpad on typing, I've not got a touchbar, but using this is a bit fiddly when the touchpad picks up my thumbs here and there!

It looks like you don't need to recompile libinput to add a few custom hardware quirks (see https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/device-quirks.html#installing-temporary-local-device-quirks and the next section for debugging quirks).
There's a newer local-overrides.quirks file at https://gist.github.com/roadrunner2/1289542a748d9a104e7baec6a92f9cd7#file-local-overrides-quirks for the Apple SPI driver (and touch bar driver which isn't in the mainline kernel) that it seems can just be copied to
/etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks
and use your distribution's libinput.I hope that helps! I don't run Linux bare metal on my Macbook any more for a variety of reasons or I would let you know if copying that file worked for me.
