Dell and Lenovo are making significant investments in the Linux firmware platform LVFS

Dell and Lenovo have joined LVFS as lead sponsors, giving the Linux firmware update platform stronger financial backing.

The move follows growing pressure on vendors to support LVFS with funding or engineering resources, not just adoption.

LVFS has already delivered more than 145 million firmware updates, showing its growing importance for Linux users and enterprises.

The added support should help sustain fwupd and improve long-term firmware update delivery across the Linux ecosystem.
