Ubuntu LTS on MacBook Pro 2017 (A1707, MBP 14,3)(T1 chip)

Summary

Notes to install Ubuntu 22.04.4LTS (Upgraded to 24.04LTS) up and running on my 2017 MacBook Pro 15 inch (MacBookPro14,3).

Now everything except the TouchID (Fingerprint), Suspend and Hibernation seems to work for me.

About Ubuntu 24.04LTS: I tried to install Ubuntu 24.04 and didn't have success. There was a crash issue during installation. https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/2065310 But I installed 22.04 and upgraded it to the 24.04LTS later and it working same as 22.04.4.

Ubuntu 22.04 on MacBook Pro 2017 (A1707, MBP 14,3)

Summary

Random set of notes and links that have helped me in the saga to get Ubuntu 22.04 up and running on my 2017 MacBook Pro These notes are mainly for myself in the event that I have to do this again some day. But if you find them helpful, that's great.

Important update

Unfortunately the MacBookPro that I bought second hand turned out to be a dud with some serious hardware flaws that didn't show up until a couple of months after I'd bought it.

I've since purhcased another laptop so I'm not going to be able to maintain this GIST.

I'll leave it here for now in case others want to contribute updates, or clone it. If you feel it's out of date or misleading or a waste of time, let me know in the comments and I'll remove it.
