Hi Derek,
Yeah, its because its all hardware related. fwupdmgr is all about BIOS /
UEFI updates, firmware updates for your camera etc, and because its all
distro agnostic, managed by LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service) from
https://fwupd.org/, its not included in regular system updates.
Its mostly used by hardware manufacturers to install firmware updates to
consumer devices like laptops, desktops etc. For enterprise servers its
still usually done in the iDRAC / ILO interface instead.
Anyway, there's no rush, you can patch whenever it suits you.
Thanks,
Matthew
