SSIA mostly, but looking for help getting Arch installed on a 2015 Macbook (not pro), cant use trackpad/keyboard without applespi drivers. There's no USB port so... no external keyboard for downloading. Has anybody done this?

this issue seems like its been a thing since the laptop released
what do you mean you have no usb port?

it has a single usb-c and a single 3.5mm aux

thats perfect
> buy a usb-c hub
> external keyboard
> you win
i know this is probably not the advice you want to hear right now, but seriously
i think using an external keyboard would be the easiest and most realistic option

not for this use case
i just need this shitty old laptop to be able to work as-is
i dont care if its difficult to set up

this particular task looks difficult bordering on impossible
there you go, some quick research
those last 2 github resources seem interesting/promising
considerthat any method of installing arch on a machine requires some form of input
if you can't even set up the laptop with external keyboard/mouse, it probably isn't possible
