Very strange. I guess you've checked your display resolutions and refresh rate are correct for the monitor? Many times after an update I have to mess with those settings. I run my Dell DisplayPort link at max res 2560 x 1600, 60 Hz, and the internal display Apple default res.

Hey rehkram, I've just tried a clean install of Sonoma, checked the monitor res, also tried to switch to 75 Hz, settings seem ok. Unfortunately the graphic glitch involving Notes happened again, this time also on the built-in display. I will wait for further versions of OCLP, that hopefully could solve the issue, meanwhile I will run Ventura as main OS, also because feels like it runs better on my Mac.
I don't know whether it's the case, but in the past I experienced a different graphic glitch that randomly showed green squares on images (on Safari and Photos). Can't remember exactly when, but I think I had Big Sur running at that time. Some said it would possibly be a hardware failure of the GPU (don't know which one). I was thinking about this, wondering if in some ways could be true and involved in triggering the latter graphic glitch. Have to say that the green squares never happened again though. Anyway, thanks for your suggestions!

EDIT: right after posting my reply, I discovered that is not Notes in general that trigger the issue. If I'm browsing "regular" notes nothing happens, but if I open a list-like note, the glitch happens. Unfortunately I have some of those.

The next step I'd take is booting in safe mode so that any apps you've got enabled to run on login don't run. But personally I'm having no luck booting in safe mode on my rMBP10,1 at the moment.

And yeah, I was wondering if you had a short in there somewhere. If I were you I'd be pulling the base off of it, doing a cleanup and generally looking around inside. That would be a good time to do regular maintenance like cleaning out the fans, SD card slot, etc. It may not solve the graphics problem but at least you'll have eliminated that possibility, right?

I see in the changelog that new boot-args were added to OCLP 1.2.0

Add new arguments:
  • --cache_os: Cache necessary patcher files for OS to be installed (ex. KDKs)
  • --prepare_for_update: Clean up patcher files for OS to be installed (ex. /Library/Extensions)
Could someone explain if and when I need those?
 
Update 14.2 beta2 went fine on my MBA7,2 with OCLP 1.2 .
No chance with my MM7,1 and 14.2 b2. Also with latest nightly only login loop after post patches applied.

If it works, it works.
 
OCLP doesn't patch right the graphics on MBA9,1 with 14.2 beta2. I tried last release and last nightly. Black screen at the end of last boot. I suppose driver is not signed.

Same here on my iMac 13,2 coming from 14.2 beta 1 to beta 2 using full installer.
Will try loading 14.1.1 from OCLP created USB and stick with that until 14.2 is released.

OCLP 1.2.1 just released. It is a bug fix release for OpenCore Legacy Patcher's Launch Agent failing to load after macOS updates. This update is not critical, however helps streamline the update flow for end users. So if your machine works well and you are on the latest MacOS version already anyway, no need to install...

No, that is NOT an official OCLP release. It is a nightly (beta) version.
If you post incorrect information that can lead to someone with a messed up system.

(likely GitHub is not completely up to date with all links, no Github has a stroke and deleted some versions. wait until it has been fixed, the 1.2.1. is real, though)

v.1.2.1 remains a "Nightly", not a release as yet. davidlv beat me to it. 👏
