Don't pay attention to the forum thread title. As you must know, forums
are generally quite messy compared to mailing-lists, as people tend to
deviate from the original subject.

I went through quite some of the posts and it's about running GNU/Linux
(mostly Ubuntu but not exclusively) on all 8th generation MacBookPro
models; I got the impression there was actually way more posts about the
15" & 17" models in this thread since they have more issues (dual
graphics, etc.).

It's a very long read but there's very interesting info scattered
around.

PS: if you succeed with Debian you should add a Changelog/HOWTO to the
    Debian wiki on http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Apple
