    Looks to me like you are trying to update via fwupd. While this should work via GNOME Software, you can also use the the terminal to do this.

    The command is fwupdmgr update

    I’ve had situations like this with my notebook where it would appear to do nothing from the GUI when clicked. It was because I didn’t have power connected, and I think gnome software has since been updated to reflect this.

    Assuming you were connected to power, I’m not sure but it may be worth reporting as a bug to gnome-software?

    Click download and then reboot.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
