GNOME Firmware

There is a standalone GUI called GNOME Firmware for distributions that can't use the above integrations; it's available for many distributions, even ones that don't use GNOME. You need to install it via your package manager.

Once that's done, open Firmware Update; this will show you all the supported devices in the left menu. If an update is available, you can install it using the button at the bottom right.
