on your system about halfway down.
Basic usage flow (command line)
If you have a device with firmware supported by fwupd, this is how you can check
for updates and apply them using fwupd’s command line tools.
# fwupdmgr get-devices
This will display all devices detected by fwupd.
# fwupdmgr refresh
This will download the latest metadata from LVFS.
# fwupdmgr get-updates
If updates are available for any devices on the system, they’ll be displayed.
# fwupdmgr update
This will download and apply all updates for your system.
- Updates that can be applied live will be done immediately.
- Updates that run at bootup will be staged for the next reboot.
You can find more information about the update workflow in the end
users section of the fwupd website.

contains mostly useless information, but occasionally there are some useful tidbits.
