macOS Bugs Leave Some MacBooks Unbootable After Updates, Workaround Added to Asahi Linux

Asahi Linux found macOS bugs that can leave MacBook Pro models with ProMotion displays unbootable after an OS update.

The bugs relate to how macOS handles display refresh rates during upgrades and boot.

Machines can get stuck booting to a black screen, requiring a recovery install.

The Asahi Linux installer was updated to detect the issue and prevent problematic installations.

This seems to be a major QA oversight by Apple that left machines unbootable after a normal OS upgrade.
