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.
It’s really funny, because I am usually super unphased by attempting upgrades or doing standard updates. But I’ve been sitting on these as well. I can’t afford to brick my machine or troubleshoot anything right now.
It also says something “scary” about may cause issues with windows boot media which is something I don’t want to deal with if that means I screw up the windows partition or bitlocker.
