This was about 4 years ago. Keyboard started going bad again this last year, cmd key falling off, ‘O’ key always has multiple inputs for a single keystroke.
I've never had a single issue like this on any of my Thinkpads running Linux.
They're built solid and take a lot of abuse.
For what it's worth, the very first butterfly keyboard MacBook is the only one that's fallen off of being supported by the latest macOS, and that only happened in October. So at least you got a good 6 years out of it, I guess?
Apple is forcing me to replace my otherwise functional device. I'll have to look into putting linux on it, because I won't be able to sign into my apple id on it.

Of course mine wasn't covered despite showing the same symptoms.
Instead the ribbon connecting the screen failed. I took it to a reputable repair shop, who told me based on their experience the failure rate on these for other display-related reasons was high enough that in their opinion I'd be throwing good money after bad. So I told them to just use mine for parts or recycle it. (It was old enough by then that the latest OS X no longer supported it, thus defeating its purpose for software development. In return I decided to simply no longer support Mac versions of software I write.)
