The Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) is a secure portal which allows hardware vendors to upload firmware updates. A huge number of devices are supported on the LVFS now. There are currently 2393 different public firmwares uploaded by 1401 users from 106 different vendors, using 39 different protocols to update hardware. A few hours ago the LVFS provided its 20 millionth firmware update. How many devices we’ve updated is impossible to know exactly as many large companies and departments mirror the entire LVFS; we just know it’s at least 20 million. In reality it’s probably a single digit multiple of that, although there’s no real way of knowing.
 
In my opinion companies like EVGA should use the LVFS to distribute firmware for its devices under Linux. The infrastructure is already in place. There are solid reasons why companies like Dell, Logitech and Lenovo have so enthusiastically embraced it.
