Congrats on getting another company onboard :)
These guys have been a bane to linux.
Their buggy error throwing bios is shit. Their support is non-existent. They are(were) a windows 10 only firmware chop shop.
At least there is one single glimmer of hope now, whereas before there was none. Thanks Richard.
LVFS is the Linux vendor firmware service.
