Hi, I’m wondering if dnf or rpm-ostree (from what I understand, a dnf wrapper) does handle updating firmware drivers? I’ve uninstalled gnome-software and now I don’t know if I should update firmware with some other command, or does the “rpm-ostree update” command do it?

    firmware drivers

    This sounds like you’re talking about firmware blobs that the kernel drivers load, which are usually in a package called linux-firmware. It should be updated automatically, but I’ll check in the morning with Fedora Silverblue.

    Otherwise if you’re talking about device firmware, than that’s all fwupd, rpm-ostree has nothing to do with that.
