SUMMARY
On Apple Silicon Macs running Fedora Asahi Remix, the NVME drive contains a
number of partitions and APFS containers that should not be exposed to the
user, but are currently listed under "Devices" in the left pane. These include:
- iBootSystemContainer -- usually the first partition, filesystem type "Apple
Silicon boot"; there's nothing useful here, and if it's damaged in any way the
system will not boot anymore and will require a DFU restore from a second
machine
- RecoveryOSContainer -- usually the last partition, filesystem type "Apple
Silicon recovery"; same issues as iBootSystemContainer

Additionally, Fedora Asahi Remix (and other distributions that leverage Asahi
Linux) boots by installing a stub macOS in a 2-3GB APFS container (usually
numbered right before the ESP); this is also not useful to expose to users.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install Fedora Asahi Remix
2. open dolphin
3. observe the folders

OBSERVED RESULT
these are here

EXPECTED RESULT
these should not be here

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
