• Asahi Linux warns users not to upgrade to macOS 27 beta

    The Asahi Linux project,
    which brings Linux support to Apple Arm-based Macs, has warned
    its users not to upgrade to the macOS 27 "Golden Gate"
    beta.

    Apple has changed how the boot picker and Startup Disk applications
    detect valid OS boot volumes. When using either from macOS 27, your
    Asahi partition will not be visible! We believe this to be a bug, and
    have filed a report (FB22994760).

    If you have already upgraded to the beta and noticed that your
    Asahi partition has disappeared, do not stress. Your Asahi partition
    is still there, and you have not lost any data.

    The Asahi Linux installer has been patched to prevent use with
    macOS 27 for now, but any users already bitten by the change will
    need to use macOS 26 to restore access to Asahi Linux.
