hey Michael, do a similar post for the yoga 920. Nobody buys a damn macbook to run linux, the yoga 910/920 are strong contenders alongside dell's xps and there's no information on them

Looks like it's also a wreck with MacOS. Maybe APFS is not the solution to all of Apple's performance problems after all?

It's probably still immature, give it a few years to stabilize.

God I love when companies put their customers in the "beta testing program".

Maybe this gist can help as well (or maybe you can contribute):

Short info: Either the compiler isn't identified correctly or an outdated version was used. With the current Xcode 9.1, the Apple-llvm version should be 9xx something.

Phoronix: Apple's Late-2016 MacBook Pro Is Still A Wreck With Linux

At the end of last year we had a brief encounter with the new at the time MacBook Pro with Touchbar to see how well it would run under Linux. It was a mess with SSD difficulties, non-working touchpad/keyboard, WiFi issues, and more. It's a bit better using the newly-released Ubuntu 17.10, but would still advise against Linux for the Apple MacBook Pro Late-2016 model / Mac-A5C67F76ED83108C / MacBookPro 13,3 model.
