> If regular users can't easily fix the issues listed in there You can fix some, but they do currently require the user to open up the system firmware settings. You need the latest (git master) version of fwupd installed to get the [translated] long descriptions of each hardware security problem.

Open the Settings app 2. Click Privacy then Device Security The Security Events aren't clickable. A default Ubuntu install only gets us "Security Level 1". The highest level is "Security Level 3". There isn't anything an Ubuntu user can do to get to a higher security level from the Device Security screen. If a user attempts to get their system to a higher security level, I think they could break their system since this isn't something we currently support. Therefore, I think we ought to hide/disable the screen for Ubuntu 22.10. We can work towards better integrating this screen for Ubuntu in future releases. I'm attaching several screenshots although it's worth trying out the feature for yourself too.
