4. Updating Firmware
Now to Update Arch Linux Firmware
First, set the SuperUser as owner:sudo chown -R root:root linux-firmware/
Authenticate with the User Admin Pass.
If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo.
Then possibly, make a backup of the existing one:sudo cp -r /lib/firmware /lib/firmware.bak
Next remove the current Firmware Directory:
sudo rm -rf /lib/firmware
And switch the Firmware into the target:
sudo mv linux-firmware /lib/firmware
To achieve the Setup now follow instructions about: How to Update Initramfs!
Finally, to reboot play:sudo reboot
After you can safely remove the old Firmware with:
sudo rm -rf /lib/firmware.bak
