LVFS + Fwupd Serve Up More Than 135 Million Firmware Downloads For Linux Users

([LVFS] 115 Minutes Ago 135 Million)


The Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) that goes hand-in-hand with the Fwupd open-source firmware updating utility celebrated the milestone on Wednesday of crossing 135 million firmware updates.

Fwupd/LVFS lead developer Richard Hughes of Red Hat celebrated the monumental milestone of 135 million firmware updates being supplied by LVFS and deployed using the Fwupd software.

Hughes celebrated the occasion on [1]Mastodon :

That's quite an achievement when just under four years ago they were [2]at just 40 million downloads from LVFS.

As of writing that number is up to 135,396,199 while the component count is up to 25,633 and the firmware count at 22,974 while having 179 vendors registered with LVFS.
