Mxlinux which is based on Debian does not have fwupd which is a daemon that allows the operating system to get hardware driver information to better support the system.
https://lvfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html
What is strange about this Ommision by mxlinux is that Debian supports Linux vendor firmware software since Debian 9 and Debian is now version 12. Why would mxlinux not support LVFS why would the daemon be removed ?

Why do you believe that you need to update your computer firmware? Do you have a System76? If not, you do not need to do a FirmWare UPDate.

Are you people reading the same post ?
The question is why would LVFS on MX-linux not support be supported since the operating system they run on is Debian. This means Mx-linux removed the LVFS driver function in Debian.As for Gre8 question If I need a driver. the answer is yes, and when I use Debian Distro it recognizes components that are not recognized any more by MX-linux.

That does not answer the question. The question is why would mxlinux remove LVFS ?
Also I do not think lvfs is an installable component it appears to be build into the O.S. But feel free to tell me how LVFS can be installed cryptodan ?

I am not installing anything!
The question in this post is about LVFS. Mx-linux offers AHS- advance hardware support version of mxlinux and I do not understand how they can support newer hardware without a mechanism like LVFS which is inherent in Debian.

To your liking!
Explain a user that does not want the operating system to examine there system for the correct drivers for hardware?
If you where to install it how would you proceed ?

If it is so easy to install this component why did MXlinux remove it from the debian OS in which they base there operating system ?

This is a forum!! if you can' t answer the question I suggest if you do not answer my post.
Why would mxlinux remove LVFS, which is built into Debian and mxlinux is based on Debian, if LVFS is a very helpful function ?
