Linux Installation - MacBook Air 2020



I downloaded the bullseye alpha 3 installer,
firmware-bullseye-DI-alpha3-amd64-DVD-1.iso
MD5: a1e967406869b1b0b64a1b808d39dd1a

My computer is a Macbook Air 2020

I shrank the Apple partition, disabled secure boot and I was able to
boot with the Debian installer.

The keyboard, mouse, wifi and sound don't work in the installer or in
the installed system.  I had to use a USB keyboard and mouse connected
with a USB-C dock.

During install, the grub install failed.  I booted with the altlinux.org
resuce image, entered the Debian partition with chroot and used apt to
install the Debian refind boot manager package.  refind is working but I
have to press Option every time I turn on the machine, otherwise it
always goes to Mac.

Can anybody tell me how to make the builtin keyboard, trackpad, wifi and
sound work again?
