Is it safe (or a good idea) to install/update "Lenovo System Firmware" from Discover store?

I just installed the KDE Discover store and noticed, to my surprise, updates for my Lenovo firmware? I thought I had to reboot into windows and do all that nonsense on win11. I heard it’s probably not a good idea to update things from the Discover store on EndeavourOS because it could fight system (yay/pacman) installed packages. But this is device firmware. Is Discover a known place to update firmware?

You might try the Arch way first?

I’ve not typically seen BIOS updates available via fwupd but you can give it a go. It’s using the same source (LVFS) as the updates you listed there.

Download the latest metadata:

fwupdmgr refresh

List updates available to your devices:

fwupdmgr get-updates

Install updates:

fwupdmgr update

Arch Wiki - fwupd

Thanks! Updated with fwupdmgr and worked perfectly (so far). Back in EOS :slight_smile:

Awesome :smiley:

That’s interesting, because I’ve not personally seen BIOS updates come through that channel. I’ll keep that in mind when folk are using a Lenovo device.
