Steps

  1. To manage firmware updates, we need to install application, called fwupdmgr (Firmware Update Manager):
    # Debian, Ubuntu, ...
    apt install fwupd
    
    # Arch, Artix, ...
    pacman -Sy fwupd
    
  2. You can view all devices, which require (or required in past) firmware updates:
    fwupdmgr get-devices
    
  3. Download and install all available updates for all devices:
    fwupdmgr get-updates && fwupdmgr update
    reboot
