A community-maintained documentation project tracking the state of Linux hardware support on MacBook Pro 2016 and 2017 models. It provides a detailed compatibility matrix for devices like audio, battery, and Bluetooth across different model identifiers and kernel versions.

Use cases

  • check if linux works on macbook pro 2016
  • find out which macbook pro 2017 hardware is supported by linux
  • get linux running on a macbook pro 13,3
  • see status of wifi and bluetooth drivers on macbook pro under linux
  • find fixes for audio not working on macbook pro 2016 linux
  • learn which kernel version is needed for macbook pro 2016 linux support

When to choose

  • you own a MacBook Pro 2016 or 2017 and want to install or run Linux on it
  • you need to know which specific hardware components (keyboard, touchpad, Wi-Fi) work before dual-booting
  • you are a developer working on Linux drivers for Apple hardware and want to contribute findings

When to avoid

  • you have a MacBook Pro from a different year (e.g. 2015 or 2020+ models)
  • you are looking for software to install rather than documentation about hardware compatibility
  • you need official Apple-supported Linux drivers
