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.

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.
