If it works, great! The problem is you'll have to manually run it every time you reboot your computer. Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 running (quite well, actually Note 1) on a 2008 MacBook White, but should work on any version of Ubuntu:įirst, try this command from this answer: sudo su -c 'echo -n 0x02 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode'
