Similar problem has been detected: Trying to install Fedora Workstation 37 on a MacBook Air 11-inch, mid-2012 (8GB RAM, 60GB SSD, model: MacBookAir5,1). Booting from USB worked. But install failed with error "failed to set new efi boot target". I chose to delete all existing partitions, encrypt the drive, and use auto partitioning. This MacBook Air used to have chromeOS Flex and then Ubuntu 22.10 installed. Side note: I had to attach a USB Realtek Wi-Fi dongle because the included Broadcom drivers don't really work -- it shows full Wi-Fi signal bars but does not connect to any websites. This bug report was written from within the live USB session.

Following this: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/TroubleShooting.html#index8h3 https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/ => /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate I could change to a rather stable image on external screen, but sometimes areas flash.
As a quick update, this problem seems resolved in F38 development version (Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-38-20230220.n.0.iso).
