Both #Dell and #Lenovo have agreed to be premier sponsors for the #LVFS as part of our new sustainability effort. Over 145 million firmware updates have been deployed now, from over a hundred different vendors to millions of different Linux devices.

With the industry support from Lenovo and Dell (and #Framework, OSFF, and of course both the Linux Foundation and Red Hat) we can build this ecosystem stronger and higher than before; we can continue the great work we've done long into the future.

I'm at #PremDay at Paris and just walked past two people in the hallway I've never met in my life talking excitedly about #LVFS and #fwupd. I know it's an unusual niche open source project but it was a super proud moment for me.

Open source maintenance is 99% fixing bugs and little things like this make it all worthwhile. Thanks those 2 random people!

Beim Erwerb des HP-Notebooks 465 G11 vor über einem Jahr war es nicht explizit mit Linux-Unterstützung ausgewiesen und auch nicht im Linux Vendor Firmware Service vertreten. Letzteres scheint sich erfreulicherweise mittlerweile geändert zu haben, da mir über KDEs Discover und lvfs nun ein Firmware Update von 1.3.1.0 auf 1.8.1.0 angeboten wird. Schick.

Hardware vendors need to do better by LVFS.
