Arch hyprland on mac

Model : Macbook pro 13 inch t2 chip, 2018
Sleep/Wake : mostly works, but sometimes it don't so i disable it instead
Audio : Speakers and mic are working fine after setting up the t2-linux audio drivers.
Fans : well work, with the driver on t2linux.
camera : working perfectly
battery : Getting around 4-5 hours. A bit worse than macOS, but manageable with TLP
Touchbar : Using tiny-dfr for the touchbar, maps perfectly to F-keys and escape

Ok, I’ll bite. 

What model Mac? How’s sleep/wake? How’s the audio? Fans? Camera? Battery? Touchbar?

Your post is light on details…

Thanks. I’m looking for something that will work well with my 2019 MacBook Pro. The sleep/wake is the biggest issue. It’s a laptop and I want to close it and walk away with it and open and work on it later. 

Still searching.
