💻 Dell, Lenovo and HP boost their Linux stance 👍
After Dell and Lenovo announced the sponsorship of the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) as being premier sponsors ($100k+ yearly) HP is also now a premier sponsor.
LVFS is an open-source firmware updating mechanism for hardware vendors to upload firmware updates to then be accessed by Linux users via tools like FWUPD.
