As a T2 Ubuntu user, the only thing that I really notice is that sleep/wake is pretty iffy. It’s annoying, but not a deal breaker by any means.

For anyone thinking of making the jump: the installation is pretty straight forward if you follow the directions

    Touchbar work? Would be a shame if mine just turned into very nice e-waste and I CBA with a neo or sell a kidney for a framework

    Touch Bar works, but can be a bit finicky. For example, it might work properly after reboot. Put the Mac to sleep, and after wake the Touch Bar has lost part of its functionality.

    There's a new yet-to-be-released project that significantly improves the Touch Bar experience. It lets you display basically anything you want on the Touch Bar. System monitor, weather widgets, games, etc. It even has support for application specific controls. They might publicly release it within the next few days.
