Yeah, probably it doesn't make things better that the vendor is Lenovo. I think for some models fwupdmgr might work but not for everything.

Lenovo's business/prosumer line is one of the best in terms of firmware that I've seen so far (though I do have my gripes with their decisions on laptops with Nvidia GPUs).
I don't even want to touch Lenovo devices that don't have "think" in their name, and even that has been tainted by their consumer brand at this point.
"Think" (thinkpad, thinkcentre, etc.) series have AFAIK completely different R&D team plus the whole aspect of building on top of what was done for earlier models, and on those the UEFI Capsule mechanism (which allows passing firmware updates from booted OS to firmware) works just fine - it's also used to ship firmware upgrade as part of Windows Update.

You mean, arguably the best vendor of linux laptops since 2005?
Just google around.
