Now all I need is a driver for the wifi to get my 2016 macbook working on Linux. Right now there's some hacks but connectivity is pretty spotty compared to when in MacOS.

Not familiar with macbooks, can you replace the wifi card to a supported one? Or is it integrated?

Just looked it's unfortunately integrated

I had the same problem but it worked out of the box with Mint.

I've tried kubuntu, mint and zorinos. I can confirm it does "work" in both mint and zorin but not well and works in kubuntu with some commands. I think it's getting very close though.

Bit late, but better late than never I guess.
