One success and one failure.
Success: Early 2020 PBP, default Manjaro, did have to update Manjaro, but otherwise everything went without a hitch.
Failure: Not blaming the developer. This has been a major debacle, partly due to a (relatively) long-term power outage here, and partly, I thought because of my personal clashing with Linux, but perhaps not.
First, I tried to update from NetBSD, and got the following output from step-1:
I assumed that this was some deficiency of lib-usb-1 on my system. I don't exactly have a standard NetBSD installation, if there is such a thing.
Next, i was able to run step-1 from "Linux Debian-Desktop 4.4.207 #1 SMP Thu Dec 26 21:14:57 EST 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux". Then the power went out, and Debian quit booting. Now, fortunately, step-1 had completely finished. I had done the poweroff after step-1 just before the power went out. I was able to reinstall Debian. However, I ran into a time-skew problem with 'make'. I resolved this by `find . | xargs touch`
Next, 'make' completed successfully. But,
Edit: nevermind; it just works in Debian (when the file dates are correct). So probably lib-usb-1 is just broken in my NetBSD.

Please note that updating the firmware carries a small risk
of permanently disabling the trackpad and keyboard, effectively
bricking them. Proceed at your own risk.
