I have a system with an AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and AMD Radeon RX 6800 GPU running Debian 12. Today there is a security update recommended for the intel-microcode. Checking for updates reveals my system believes it needs the update, but I am not informed enough to understand why/if that is true. I managed to find a Debian article on microcode and it seems to indicate it is specific to either intel or AMD. Should I trust the system update and follow through? I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. My proficiency with Debian is likely not where it needs to be it seems.
The word need is far more abused and misused than the word love. Neither are ever applicable. Just be your value and the world will be a better place.
