Public bug reported:
Xubuntu 25.10 > do-release-upgrade -d > 26.04 beta
The firmware is now split by vendor. One would expect only the x86
firmware to be included. But I also see e.g. a /lib/firmware/arm
directory. None of the "what package provides" methods I found via
google finds the providing package. Are these files left-overs from the
previous monolithic firmware package? Can I safely purge those arm
firmware files?
Also it is not unthinkable that a vendor provides x86 and arm firmware.
How would that situation be handled?
