Anybody installed recent versions of Ubuntu Linux on their MBP 2017?
First thing, is that I have the opportunity to plug my MBP using ethernet, so I didn't need to download drivers onto a thumb drive but install directly.
## it's simple as .. connect to wired Ethernet:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source
Then reboot and retest wireless
You may find this useful if you are not able to connect via ethernet, though its for my 2012 rMBP the steps detail how to download and install bcmwl-kernel-source

Since I have a 2012 rMBP, these steps may not work, but suggest looking and posting on the ubuntu forums, they can be helpful
