- CameronNemo 4y agoNot niche enough, AFAICT https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/fwupd/ https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/fwupd/
- josteink 4y agoArch is the new “big” distro among Linux gamers. It seems to be taking market share from Ubuntu. And yes, fwupdmgr works fine on Arch too.
- Macha 4y agoAlso the Steam Deck is Arch derived, so I think there's a good chance after this year that Arch is actually the most common desktop Linux family.
- pxc 4y agofwupd is available on quite a few niche distros, including NixOS, GuixSD, Void Linux, Gentoo, and also, of course, Slackware. Also I feel that openSUSE qualifies as a major distro despite not appearing on that list!
