      Probably because your hardware’s firmware is up to date or there’s nothing available.

      It’s rare that it’s updated.

      Check your journal or

      systemctl status fwupd.service

      fwupdmgr get-history

          No problem.

          The only reason i know this is because systemd throws degraded warnings because fwupd keeps failing. On several machines. (Because DNS, proxies, VPN, etc.)

          In xfce there’s a panel tool called genmon I use.

          I have 2 specifically for monitoring systemd status

          First is just the status

          systemctl is-system-running

          The other lists the failed units using a script

          #!/bin/sh
          failedd (){ systemctl --failed | grep -o -E "●.{0,35}\<failed" 2>/dev/null }
          echo $(failedd)

          Mint cinnamon has a similar “spice” (panel plugin) that I also use.
