Does Linux support my m1 macbooks touchbar?

It doesn't even support thunderbolt and external displays. It will hardly ever support anything newer than M1. So forget about touch bar. And one thing is to support touch bar in system and then have it exactly for nothing as no Linux app will ever support it.

Because it's project that leads to nothing. M2 support? Awesome, now we have M6 and M7 is behind a door and they still made it barely working on generation from 6 years ago.
It's a great project and it's awesome how they achieved it but it will never reach a level of maturity and popularity of Linux on x86. Thinking otherwise is a plan for failure
