What are Linux developers going to be doing to address the new code being slow tracked which addresses BlackLotus attacks which eventually will be disabling current boot loaders with the vulnerability?
The more user-friendly distros have support for updating the UEFI secure boot dbx (forbidden binaries) database via fwupd, but due to the circumstances around this update, they currently don't/don't do it correctly. MS isn't doing it automatically themselves yet either so we're not any worse off. There's an open issue around handling this. I suspect it'll take a couple of months before this to-be-written support finds its way into distros. It's complex, annoying and the result of it going wrong is a system that can't boot Windows and can't boot from preexisting Windows recovery media. Distros will want to be very careful with it. I suspect they'll roll it out in stages with single-boot systems getting patched first and possibly interactive user confirmation.

Got this baby (T480) with my own money for $180
Use fwupd

I just installed Pop OS on my Lenovo Thinkpad T480, i see a bunch of firmware updates... any watch out here as someone completely new to linux? safe to update them all? Thanks!
These updates are coming from fwupd and LVFS. The frontend is Gnome Software. Lenovo is pushing their firmware updates to LVFS, so you're updating with vendor code. Its a lot like getting device drivers and what-not through Windows Update.

Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Gen 2 will not charge after update
Windows Update ran this morning and updated a few Lenovo system updates, after which my laptop can now no longer charge. Windows reports it as 0% while the Bios reports it as 7% - has anyone else updated and ran into this? On the below GitHub page, looks to be a known issue but wondered if anyone else has managed a workaround? https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues/329

Linux on the laptop works so damn well that it’s boring
ya that service has been very helpful and tracking issues is great, but there can still be issues when installing. For example, I am dealing with a bug found in this list of issues: https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues on one of my laptops.

ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station - Crashes laptop - Lenovo ignoring the issue
Has anyone had any success getting the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station to work reliably on Linux? I'm running Pop-OS! and as per https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues/191 it hard crashes (locks) the machine on boot and Lenovo have seemingly abandoned the issue for Linux users, despite the cost of this thing.

fwupd don't want to update my Lenovo firmware!
Unfortunately a UEFI capsule firmware update actually uses the old version of the firmware to apply the new version. So if you've got a super-old existing version you might need to use Windows (sad face) or a bootable CD to update to a slightly newer version, and from there fwupd can work. Lenovo are supposed to include a "old bios must be newer than X" in the firmware metadata, and so if you can file a bug in https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues with your old BIOS version included, I can make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Sorry!

Ubuntu Locks Up w/ ThinkPad Universal TB4 Dock
I have the same issue, as do others (see https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues/191). Seems Lenovo just don't bother with Linux these days, given it's been 8 months since this was reported.

Linux as only Os
It does seem that updating firmware might be the only thing to worry about. Do you use the program called fwupd, a.k.a. fwupdmgr? That program works well when it actually works. I have had many problems with it. (See here for problems it has on ThinkPads.) I suggest that you try it (if you have not already) and see whether it works for you. Or, if Pop_OS has some sort of GUI front-end for fwupd (does it?) then try that.
