You have to set up i2c correctly in the kernel (by default it only works on Intel hw) and then use libinput as it doesn't work in synaptics.
Then it is actually quite nice.

Personally I see no place for anything Apple in the world. Their hardware is truly anti-consumer, they prioritise form over function every time. Their os (specifically OSX) is a pile of stinking blegh. Yes their touchpads used to be the best, now they are just too big. Their hardware used to be really well done, now it is dongle hell and the worlds worst keyboard.
Apple did a lot to make computing worse for everyone.

Never bothered with Apple gear and could never understand why anyone would. Overpriced and underperforming. And beloved by the consumption-as-religion class that also believes they are achieving social justice and environmental justice through their choice of coffee shops and ice cream brands.

Majority of my macOS experiences were negative, only nice for casual use, trying to be productive on it like I was with Windows or Linux was full of issues :\ Ones specific to macOS that most of the communities advice to resolve was to throw more money away.

Already covered that in the same post. Running Linux as a desktop OS in a VM for me is not pleasant(unless the host is providing hardware passthrough)

Buying these comically overpriced boxes to not use macOS makes no sense to me though ^^
I am currently using a Dell Latitude 5495 w/ Ryzen 2500U which I am much more happy with (overall). The performance of my current laptop is multiple times better and the cost is between 1/2 and 1/3 less compared to a new Macbook Pro in my country.
PS: I would never use VirtualBox to run Linux as guest, even if someone held a gun next to my head! VMware Fusion was okay if you had enough RAM and extra cash.

As what it does is exactly what the ME is designed to do (and doing in more locked down systems).

Really, why should Apple care about any Linux distribution. On a typical HP or Dell machine Ubuntu works fine.
Enable/Disable Secure Boot. On non-ARM systems, it is required to implement the ability to disable Secure Boot via firmware setup. A physically present user must be allowed to disable Secure Boot via firmware setup without possession of PKpriv. A Windows Server may also disable Secure Boot remotely using a strongly authenticated (preferably public-key based) out-of-band management connection, such as to a baseboard management controller or service processor. Programmatic disabling of Secure Boot either during Boot Services or after exiting EFI Boot Services MUST NOT be possible. Disabling Secure Boot must not be possible on ARM systems.
