A few updates ago Pop started nagging me to accept firmware updates. My layman’s reading of the release notes is that it’s a Microsoft package that can block boot based on an ever-increasing number of packages they don’t like.

Is it safe to take an update like this? Unlike a kernel change, I don’t know how to recover if this goes wrong.

    I did install it on my laptop and it went fine. On my PC it keeps nagging me, but it also fails to install it. So, I’m the opposite of you now. I really want to install this so the notification goes away, but it can’t be installed.
