What doesn't work
- The default WiFi chip does not function. There is ongoing work on community made drivers here however I could not get them to work.
- Once in the blue moon it kernel panics with graphical artifacts (still tracking this one down).
- CPU Power management & frequency does need some work (custom DSDT dump might fix this).
- No dedicated GPU on Catalina.
