Post by Framework :fedora: :ubuntu:

There currently is no way to update the laptop firmware without Windows. Sounds like the best Linux laptop, not. The firmware contains important security fixes, yet Windows is mandatory to install it. Framework does not provide any timeline for when (or guarantee that ever*) Linux users will be able to update. Those BIOS security patches are out for months for Windows users. * updates via LVFS have been promised for years and never actually happened. So I am sceptical.

Appreciate the feedback. Yes, some of the earlier generations are held back from LVFS due to a bug we were running into with those specific Intel configs. All AMD releases however, have had multiple BIOS releases over LVFS.
