Hi Lina,

There are unfortunately lots of ongoing challenges with the 2018 Macbook Pro machines. You can follow a log here to see where the project is at as of 25 days ago. The main issue seems to be the T2 security chip will not allow access to the nvme drive, even if you diable Secure Boot in the Recovery Menu. Together with the drive issue, Wifi and sound don’t work either. 

You cold try the very latest Arch Linux ISO as it’s got the very latest driver updates going with a new kernel as well.
