Right now the display on Apple Silicon laptops shows up as uncalibrated. Apple provides a profile at /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/Color LCD-37D8832A-2D66-02CA-B9F7-8F30A301B230.icc on a Macbook Pro M1, and we can assume other models will have a profile in a similar location. As far as we can tell so far, these are model-specific but not device-specific. Assuming they can't just be bundled in the profiles database, we'll need some logic in the Asahi Installer to extract them akin to other firmware and pass them over to the Linux side.

For KDE Plasma, we may be able to do something here. Xaver Hugl merged basic support for this for Plasma 6, so we may be able to do something for the KDE variant in Fedora 40. @zzag may be able to clarify if my understanding is correct.

Also we found out the display profile is always Display P3 (at least on the non-HDR screens, probably on all of them) so we don't need to rip ICCs from macOS, we can just use a generic one. Presumably the display is internally calibrated to that standard in DCP.
Also we need to brace ourselves for all the "all my colors look way duller" complaints once we enable this ;)
