A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

On Linux, I run
fwupdmgr
to periodically check for firmware updates. Not every manufacturer supports it yet, but I've had good results with a few laptops. Not sure if it supports BIOS.Also though, I generally try to leave my BIOS alone if everything is working fine. Unless I hear of a reason to update, I'd rather stay on a stable version.
BIOS/EFI updates have shown up on my ThinkPad T490 under Fedora, and I think Framework supports this feature as well with their devices.
