So I've bought the new USB-C Apple Magic Trackpad, and turns out it's not supported by the linux kernel yet: bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.c

So I've downloaded a patch and rebuilt the kernel myself. All works now. That was my first, I feel like a linux wizard now.

Update: had the same trouble with a built-in microphone, patched the kernel AGAIN, and sent the patch to a maintainer.

@zverik now to imagine a scenario where your ability to patch the Linux kernel saves the day.
