I'm considering an MBP. But can the touch bar be configured to transparently
provide (P)F keys for emulators, X11, VirtualBox, ...
On my old MB I used Keyboard Preferences so I can use F1-F12 without using
a modifier key.
I never mastered PF13-PF24, so that's not a concern.

I switched to the latest MacBook pro late last year.
The touch bar is an abomination; it is simply too easy to accidently
bump into and cause all sorts of havoc.
So - I find that I simply turn it off as much as possible.
I usually use C3270 for my emulator ("txt" mode in a terminal window)
and I've
set the terminal window's touch bar to display the function keys... they
work just
fine (except for accidently bumping into them.)
I haven't tried setting them up with the X3270 port I use on the mac...
I'm sure it's
possible... but, I've just been so put-off by the touch-bar that I want
it to just go
away.
As soon as Apple comes out with a new MacBook without the touch bar, I
will be
opting for that.
