Apple’s macOS Sonoma makes Macs with Asahi Linux unbootable

About a year or so ago, the Asahi Linux people told me I was being paranoid about Apple's macOS or firmware updates bricking or otherwise negatively affecting Asahi Linux installs, and that you shouldn't rely on Linux on Apple M devices for anything serious. They told me Apple explicitly supports alternate operating systems on ARM Macs and that Apple can be fully trusted and relied upon.

...so anyway bugs in Sonoma are making Macs with Asahi installed unbootable.

macOS Sonoma and macOS Ventura 13.6 were released with multiple serious bugs in their upgrade and boot process. Combined, these bugs can create conditions where a machine always boots to a black screen, no matter what power button press combination is used. This leaves users stuck, and the only solution is to use DFU recovery.

Apple obviously doesn't care about anyone running anything but macOS on M Macs, and unsurprisingly nobody at Apple even thought to test for this so of course this happened. I'd say I told you so" but I'm tired of warning people about Apple's behaviour because apparently people just love endlessly banging their bloodied head against a wall.
