@Yochanan

linux-firmware is just a meta package to pull in all the firmware packages, so it can either be installed manually to replace linux-firmware-meta or the latter can be removed.

@NZXT

Had linux-firmware-meta as a foreign package now so removed it and installed linux-firmware package. All seems to work with just minor testing. Nothing was left orphaned with doing the swap from linux-firmware-meta to linux-firmware.

The list of package changes for stable update 2026-05-27 is not available at the moment to confirm this
