So i have a Lenovo Thinkbook 16 this is the model number 21KKA064IN. Idk if my laptop is lvfs supported or not but when i ran fwupd command for update it showed me this

Devices with no available firmware updates: 
 • MZAL8512HDLU-00BL2
 • System Firmware
 • UEFI Device Firmware
 • UEFI Device Firmware
 • UEFI Device Firmware
 • ELAN06FA:00 04F3:327E
Devices with the latest available firmware version:
 • UEFI dbx

I also checked journal and found this

I can provide any other information if needed.

So the question is … whether it is supported?
That output shows that fwupd was able to check for latest UEFI dbx updates (and that you are on the latest version) but not more. fwupdmgr get-devices shows you more details, in particular whether a device can be updated. Whether the device vendor puts up updates on lvfs is a different question. (Lenovo is typically good at this.)

So i checked it and it did showed me a lot of devices with updatable flag. If it is updatable it should update shouldn’t it? Or probably i am upto date.

Just what I wrote:

“Can be” = “Can if there is an update”. If there was one you’d be offered to update.

It didn’t offered me any updates but anyways doesn’t matter one thing got solved which is good but what about this
