Asahi Linux Transitions from Apple Silicon Port to macOS Bug Hunting

Asahi Linux, a project to port Linux to Apple Silicon Macs, has discovered bugs in Apple's macOS that can result in a black screen and require a Device Firmware Update (DFU) recovery. The issues are related to how recent versions of macOS handle refresh rates, specifically affecting MacBook Pro models with ProMotion displays. The bugs are not directly connected to the Asahi Linux project and impact users who upgraded to Sonoma the normal way. The Asahi Linux installer has been updated to check for the issue and refuse installation if the refresh rate is not set to ProMotion mode. Apple has not yet responded to the report.
