I haven't tried running a Linux distro on any Mac with the T2 chip, but that might be a challenge if that chip is used for authenticating the boot process or something like that. Additionally, the fact that the thing is brand-new means that it might be a while before some of it works with Linux.

You should be able to install Linux by disabling verified boot.

Nope, at least not yet, as the NVMe controller in the T2 chip doesn't work with Linux yet. See https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux/issues/71 for details.
