I saw the update about Steam trying to provide a way to update the BIOS however, I didn’t find much discussion about it elsewhere.

Some people are saying fwupd is great, others are saying it’s not supported by OEMs.

What’s the current status regarding this entire thing?

    Valve just open sourced SteamOS manager, which among other things allows updating the BIOS. I suspect we’ll see this get added into Bazzite and other Linux distros meant for the Deck, but I don’t think it’s been added yet.

    In the meantime, the Arch Wiki claims that fwupd works fine for updating the Steam Deck bios on Arch, and I’m assuming that means it would work for Bazzite and other distros as well.
