The new macOS 27 beta changes Apple's boot picker in a way that hides the Asahi Linux partition, preventing Apple Silicon Mac users from booting into their Linux installations. (www.phoronix.com)

They fix bugs to keep asahi working all the time, this is literally a beta release, chill.

A beta release that is absolutely littered with bugs. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did it because they broke something, or just straight up the Asahi bootloader needs to be updated.

.. it is literally the first developer beta. Of course it is littered with bugs, like every first developer beta apple or almost everybody else puts out. That is entirely the point of the beta, to find bugs.

People complaining about bugs in the beta have not understood who that beta is for…

Alright

I'm not buying into Apple stuff because of the things Apple does
So seemingly locking other people out of using their hardware just seemed in line

But ok, I'll retract my comment

Edit: I corrected my comment with the stuff, that was wrong

I mean, in fairness, if I read a headline that was like "in silent apple update, MacBooks with Asahi Linux installed will self destruct the lithium ion battery once it detects the user is asleep and unable to stop the explosion" I'd have been like "yeah. That tracks. Sucks that their hardware is so fucking good."

But it’s not a silent Apple update. It’s literally a beta release for beta users and you have to click update to update!

For fucks sake. If a headline said “Mr Roger’s ran someone over with his car and didn’t tell anyone about it” would you believe it or be slightly incredulous? This user didn’t even post the actual headline, which mentioned it was a beta. Does no one have critical thinking skills anymore?

It’s like believing Microsoft purposefully puts in idiotic bugs and security vulnerabilities into their OS multiple times a month. They’re not doing it on purpose, they’re just completely incompetent.

"if I read a headline" that's how I started my comment. "If I read A headline"

I did not say anything about this one. I just expressed empathy at the users misunderstanding of the original post.

I understood it was a hypothetical headline, but it sounded like you were implying that that was what actually happened here, otherwise why mention “silent” at all?
