[DiegoMagdaleno]

Brunch image: 83-testing-4.19-unstable
ChromeOS version: 80
Revovery image used: Nami

State:

• ChromeOS shell access, etc
• Android apps, Google Play Store and Google Services (Such as Google assitant)
• Graphics
• Booting up
• Keyboard
• Nvme Disk
• Suspend and hibernation (With workaround)
• Wifi
• Proper detection of Retina display
• Termal controls
• Linux container and apps\
• Sound
• Microphone
• Touchpad
• Bluetooth (Requires more testing)
• Camera

About: The new MacBook Pros are not very good with Linux and some work of the community is being done, to fully support this devices in the future, so a future with this working as a perfect Chromebook is possible!

Sleep and hibernation workaround:

1. Open the ChromeOS terminal
2. Type sudo su
3. Run echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/d3cold_allowed

I will be keeping track of this and updating the state as more of it its working, since one day all of the stuff should be working.

Possible issues that are caused by ChromeOS itself:

• Camera: According to the community Camera should work out of the box (In Linux) however this doesnt happen on ChromeOS
• Touchpad: Touchpad driver works out of the box in most Linux distros, however here it doesn't while we can use it to click, we can't use it to move the pointer on the screen, perhaps an issue with ChromeOS since most Linux distros use libinput.

I can't get my keyboard to work in Chrome OS, can you share your brunch build?

Also, does the charging icon shows up when your device is charging?
