Ok so I have a Macbook Pro 12,1 and the keyboard/trackpad has been dead for a few months, or so i thought. I installed linux in a seperate partition and when it booted, lo and behold, a working damn keyboard and mouse! Boot camp/windows hadn’t fixed the issue and it still is broken when i go back to MacOS.

Now i have to wonder, is there a way I can get those drivers from linux that make the keyboard function work on MacOS? I’m running linux lite 6.6 (which i guess is a branch of ubuntu) and MacOS Monterey if that helps…

Sticking with ubuntu lol

    Your MacOS install might be messed up. Do a full backup (and check that it really is indeed safely and fully backed up), then reinstall the whole OS as new (without transferring anything over from a previous save).
