Linux on MacBook Pro Late 2016 (with Touchbar)

Introduction

This is about documenting getting Linux running on the late 2016 MPB's; the focus is mostly on the MacBookPro13,3 (15inch model), but I try to make it relevant and provide information for MacBookPro13,1 and MacBookPro13,2 (13inch models) too. I'm currently using Fedora 25, but most the things should be valid for other recent distros even if the details differ. The kernel version is 4.9.x (after latest update).

The state of linux on the MBP (with particular focus on MacBookPro13,2) is also being tracked on https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux .

Summary Of Current State

What works

  • Booting (i.e Grub etc)
  • Recognizes disk on MacBookPro13,3; MacBookPro13,2 and MacBookPro13,1 need kernel patch
