What distro are you using? Every one I've tried on my 2017 iMac I've run into driver issues.

I don't currently own any Apple hardware, I was just speculating

The Mac minis don't really have that problem.

Okay but...I don't have a Mac Mini?

Right, macbooks and imacs have far more trouble with drivers than the minis do. That's what I was saying. His distro might not be helpful, as he was using a mini and not a macbook or imac.
