 ====== Function Keys ======
-===== MacBook Pro Touch Bar =====
+While this is meant to represent all "F keys" found on keyboards (F1-12), in practice, this page is for Apple's "Touch Bar" found on certain models of the MacBook Pro. This "Touch Bar" works as a set of function keys (in a more advanced way) on these systems. Due to this niche example of "EOP-capable function keys", it can be safely said that they all run a variant of MacOS on an Apple M chip.

-Apparently this little touch bar can run Linux. The person who got it running hasn’t said much about it, sadly. It is actually running ON the bar though, rather than using it as a display.

+Apparently this little touch bar can run Linux. The person who got it running hasn’t said much about it, sadly. It is actually running ON the bar though, rather than using it as a display. The postmarketOS wiki has a small page about potentially running Linux on this chip. It's not clear if they are aware of this twitter person's work.

 Equally as ridiculous as Linux, but at least, it’s an example of the Touch Bar running “widescreen”?
