[19beta] No microcode available in mintdrivers

[MSNBC]

In Mint 18.x Microcode was offered for my CPU. Now it isn't. Made a clean install of 19beta from DVd and all updates.

Intel microcode 3.20180425.1~ubuntu0.18.04.1 is installed.

Code: Select all

Looks like microcode (both for Intel and AMD) is part of the default installation now? When I check with Synaptic, I have both microcode packages.

Yes, seems to be "the new normal"...
