Yeah, on Linux you get all of the same firmware issues, but with no vendor software support to update it!

I dual boot windows so that I can download all of my PC's firmware updaters.

I've tried gnome-firmware (same backend) on literally every linux system I've ever owned and have never seen an available update for any of my hardware.

If you don't own supported hardware, that's not really super surprising: https://fwupd.org/lvfs/vendors/

		Right. That’s the point of my initial comment. That list looks promising… if you own a Dell or Lenovo. Everything else is a pretty pitiful showing. I’m actually booted into windows right now to update my monitor firmware.
