Linux Vendor Firmware Service
The Linux Vendor Firmware Service is a secure portal which allows hardware vendors to upload firmware updates.
This site is used by all major Linux distributions to provide metadata for clients such as fwupdmgr and GNOME Software.
There is no charge to vendors for the hosting or distribution of content. Consulting companies can offer advice and help you get on the LVFS.

The fwupd service kept giving me system errors on boot after a new install of ubuntu 20.04 IoT. A temporary fix was to stop that service with:

sudo systemctl stop fwupd.service
sudo systemctl disable fwupd.service
sudo systemctl mask fwupd.service
