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
Did you try resetting nvram?
It doesn’t always work, but it has solved a couple of hardware types of issues that I’ve run into. Plus, it’s really fast to try out, so even if it doesn’t fix anything you’re only talking about losing a few minutes.
Otherwise, I’d probably try just blowing it all away and then doing a clean install starting with macOS. It might be too long ago to remember right now, but every once in a while, windows sends out an update that breaks bootcam, and that’s what might be affecting you.
Thought about trying some fixes but i decided to just wipe it, waiting on results now…
Edit: fuck this shit, I’ve installed linux, i gave up. Gonna make a drive that has osx on it i think…
