- ementally 2y agoSorry I should have clarified, brace removes passim from fwupd which is the source of the issue. https://github.com/divestedcg/Brace/commit/a19e29274ae7480169c48196fe390dd44508c197 https://github.com/divestedcg/Brace/commit/a19e29274ae748016... So it is basically a bloatware removal tool for handpicked applications and not an alternative to fwupd.
