Written by Michael Larabel in LVFS on 6 December 2024 at 08:38 AM EST. 1 Comment

Fwupd 2.0 debuted back in October while out today is Fwupd 2.0.3 as the newest incremental update to this open-source solution for updating system and device firmware under Linux.

Fwupd 2.0.3 brings a number of useful improvements such as a power handling quirk fix for Framework laptops, speeding up the writing of firmware to the new Dell dock, reducing the device emulation RSS requirement by around 40% for that emulated support within Fwupd, and a number of other fixes.
