Very nice that it's being supported, but I think the general consensus among MacBook owners was that it was mainly a sales gimmick and not actually that useful? With opinion divided, of course. I can imagine it would be handy for specific apps.

I have a couple touch bar macs, and the touch bar is fine.

However, I installed Ubuntu on one of my touch bar macs. The keyboard has no physical escape key; that would be on the touch bar. So, my Ubuntu touch bar Mac now has no escape key, which is a bit problematic, so having a fix for that would be cool.

It is not a big deal for me, since I'm just using it as a server, but it could be a deal breaker for using a touch bar Mac with Linux as a PC.

it was great if you really leant into it and installed custom stuff like better touch bar… but apple never really did a lot with it: it could have been really cool, but it never got the attention it needed

So glad to finally see this like 5 years after I needed it. Apple doesn't even make Macs with the touchbar anymore because it sucked.

Now I want a Touch Bar MacBook! It would be so fun to customize the touch bar to my exact needs! Possibly even play doom on it!
