How to update the BIOS of the laptop?
Use either the EFI Shell or LVFS update methods. You may have an encrypted root filesystem, but the partition that you use to store data for the firmware is not—and cannot be—encrypted.
LVFS would need to be set to testing rather than stable right, because EndevourOS is not an “official” distro right?
distro being “officially supported” or not doesn’t really matter as the fwupd app handles these updates.
Depengind on the BIOS version you have, you might need the lvfs-testing repo if the newest bios is still in BETA stage as those are provided in the -testing repo. Official versions come from the default lvfs branch.
Thank you very much
Just to clarify, using LVFS instructions from both the Arch WIKI as well as Framework’s community page for updating the BIOS, are these the following command line prompts to update BIOS correctly on EndevourOS?
fwupdmgr get-devices
fwupdmgr refresh --force
fwupdmgr get-updates
fwupdmgr update
Yes those should do it
Thank you very much
