I have a MacBook pro (2019, 16in, touch bar) and Artix wont recognize the keyboard or mouse. Can anyone send me how to install drivers or how to fix this.

The Linux kernel includes all the drivers, so you have to wait for the drivers to be added to the kernel, or rely on third parties for drivers.

I don't know anything about Mac.
Have you installed the latest kernel and linux-firmware?

search the aur for compatible drivers. someone else likely has had your problem by now and maybe arranged a solution.

the first thing i would do is use my logitech keyboard and mouse on the unified driver because i know that works with mac and linux ootb. I would use those to install drivers from the aur. surely there are some.. but any external usb mouse and keyboard would work really. if you have not a usb mouse and keyboard a generic set can be got from walmart or amazon for under 25$ or hit up a thrift store for something used and cheap.
