On Github and other resources you find plenty of information on how to install and where to get driver for MacBooks 2016 and older.

Especially with driver, since as you surly know, you can not download driver from the manufacturer. Which is also not helpful.ДЄs you stated, this is a Linux and nobody is holding your hand, but a forum is exactly the place where you ask people when a simple search on google/github/gitlab/askubuntu/etc. The answer вЂњInstall the driver from the internetвЂќ is helping like dell asking вЂњHave you plugged in your monitorвЂќ. To be fair, it seems you donвЂ™t have experience with the T2. The frustrating part of your help was, that you simply did not know anything to help with the T2 Chip, but thought simply pointing to the apple page which is fairly simply found via google. This is the problem which I was aiming on with my initial question. The big problem ist the T2-Chip, which blocks access to the internal drive if it is not MacOS (or Bootcamp Windows). I understood that you meant to download the driver for the internal wifi via an ethernet dongle. Try this solution to make the camera card less intrusive. I feel like installing the OS on an external drive (like a USB or a camera card) might be a better solution.

Many people report trouble with EFI after a second OS installation on the single internal hard drive. The macOS EFI partition will always boot first, because Apple is law unto itself. I suggest using Time Machine to make a recovery disk in case it goes sideways at some point. There will not be a bootload page, so you will sit on what looks like a broken system for about 30 seconds. I would suggest NOT dual booting, and use GParted to completely wipe your macOS and the EFI partition before reinstalling Ubuntu Budgie. IF you are trying to dual boot (reading your post doesnвЂ™t say one way or another) you will need to read up on using a bootloader like rEFInd. No one holds anyoneвЂ™s hand with a linux installation. I hear this is a frustrating problem, and you are near wits end with this hardware, which is why I suggested purchasing a different model. Apple laptops retain a great deal of value upon reselling. I have a great 2012 Lenovo Thinkpad that has the best keyboard IвЂ™ve ever used: Apple and HP have nothing on this keyboard.

I know it seems ludicrous, but you might consider selling your macbook if you no longer need itвЂ™s macOS and buying a laptop that would allow easy linux installation, like an HP or a Lenovo. It sounds like your previous experience was disappointingвЂ¦

You might have the same experience with your built in keyboard: after installation, install extra drivers to enable your onboard keyboard, etc. Maybe the touchbar is creating a problem for the current kernel? Fossfreedom does make a point Apple is a law onto themselves. Every non-touchbar macbook I have installed Ubuntu Budgie on has had amazing support. I have no idea why your 2018 macbook would lose the keyboard and trackpad. I am using a cheap realtek? I only plug it in long enough to connect to the wifi and download correct drivers, then I remove it because it is unnecessary. IвЂ™d say plug your macbook into the modem with an ethernet cable and download the drivers, but you canвЂ™t!! You donвЂ™t have an ethernet port! You could buy a USB wifi dongle to allow for internet access just briefly enough to bypass your broadcomm antennae and download the hardware driver your macbook. In the old days, youвЂ™d install the Ubuntu desktop and be stranded with no wifi, right? You experienced this. Check this box and restart with a linux boot USB.Д«UT: DonвЂ™t start yet. You see how the last one says вЂњdoes not enforce ANY requirements from OSвЂќ ThatвЂ™s you.

There are 3 modes to the T2 chip: Full security, Medium security and No security.
