Firmware Updates on GNU/Linux
Modern PCs have many hardware components needing their own firmware to run. As always, when software comes into play, there is a need to update this firmware. Unfortunately, this has been done in vendor dependent ways in the past. The Linux Vendor Firmware Service set out to become a vendor independent platform for doing this in a generic way. In this post I want to share a few transcripts to show how this works in practice.
Listing Updateable devices
To find out which components of your systems can receive firmware
updates, check with the get-devices sub-command of fwupdmgr. Note
that this is an old recording of the state of my system. Many
components have been upgraded in the meantime:

Note that there is a device "System Firmware - UEFI dbx" which is relevant for Secure Boot. Blocking insecure bootloaders is done by adding their signatures to this dbx list.
Manual update
Updating the list of avaiable firmware is easy to do:

Logitech Receiver Updates
At one time, the Logitech receiver used with my M570 trackball, was amenable to upgrading:
dzu@krikkit:~$ fwupdmgr update
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Upgrade Unifying Receiver from RQR12.03_B0025 to RQR12.10_B0032? ║
╠══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ This release addresses an encrypted keystroke injection vulnerability sent ║
║ by pointing devices.The vulnerability is complex to replicate and would ║
║ require a hacker to be physically close to a target. ║
║ ║
║ A few of Logitech's devices used to send select buttons in an unencrypted ║
║ way, and in an effort to protect against this vulnerability, Logitech ║
║ removed the feature.Affected hardware is: ║
║ ║
║ • Wireless Mouse M335 ║
║ • Zone Touch Mouse T400 ║
║ • Wireless Mouse M545 ║
║ • Wireless Mouse M560 ║
║ • Touch Mouse M600 ║
║ • Touch Mouse T620 ║
║ • Wireless Rechargeable Touchpad T650 ║
║ ║
║ Although Logitech does not recommend it, these features may be re-activated ║
║ by keeping/downgrading the receiver to an older firmware. ║
