It should be essential for everyone to apply them as fast as possible. As it is a rather invasive process, it needs user interaction.\n\n![grafik](https://github.com/trytomakeyouprivate/fwupd-GUI/assets/113100745/9583d325-3afb-44da-92e6-7c3a7d1cf48d)\n\nTry it:\n\n```\nsudo wget https://github.com/trytomakeyouprivate/fwupd-GUI/raw/main/99-charged.rules -P /etc/udev/rules.d \u0026\u0026\\\nsudo wget https://github.com/trytomakeyouprivate/fwupd-GUI/raw/main/firmwareupdate -P /etc/ \u0026\u0026\\\nsudo wget https://github.com/trytomakeyouprivate/fwupd-GUI/raw/main/charged.service -P /etc/systemd/system \u0026\u0026\\\nsudo wget https://github.com/trytomakeyouprivate/fwupd-GUI/raw/main/firmwareupdate.service -P /etc/systemd/system \u0026\u0026\\\nsudo wget https://github.com/trytomakeyouprivate/fwupd-GUI/raw/main/firmwareupdate.timer -P /etc/systemd/system \u0026\u0026\\\nsudo systemctl enable firmwareupdate.service \u0026\u0026 echo \"Firmware updater installed\"\n```\n\nIdea:\n\n- a udev rule checks if A: the user is attached to AC or B: the user has over 70% battery life (this should cover Desktop and laptop users)\n- the udev rule activates a systemd unit that indicates a secure state to execute updates\n- the timer will then start and run the service\n- the service runs a bash script stored as /etc/firmwareupdate\n- the bash script checks if there are available updates, reformats the output and shows available devices in a zenity dialog. The user has the opportunity to update via the GUI or to skip the update. A message informs how to update manually\n- When skipped the service runs the next day again. \n- If there are no updates the memory load will be minimal and the service will be silent all the time\n\n\nToDo:\n\n- testing, troubleshooting\n- fixing systemctl enabling\n- testing fwupdmgr output reformatting\n- testing no-action scenarios\n- fixing buttons in zenity\n- writing a noninvasive log about successful update checks with none available\n\nContributions welcome!\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fboredsquirrel%2Ffwupd-gui","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fboredsquirrel%2Ffwupd-gui","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fboredsquirrel%2Ffwupd-gui/lists"}
