Update drivers GUI would have accomplished the same thing, as well as Lite Tweaks for the kernel updation. Also you can install or remove microcode via update drivers GUI. FYI: The so called Intel microcode you are opting to use is the same old core2 duo blob that was available 10 years ago. It is not an update with any S-M mitigations. The S-M mitigations are built into the Linux kernel not the microcode and Intel is unlikely to ever update the old mc. The microcode offers you NO improvement in security against S-M and it can mess up your graphics handling depending on your OEM. Linux is free. Intel microcode is never installed as a default. The new kernel is the way to go, but the mc does not matter. If your system was sluggish just use update drivers to opt out of the microcode usage. The GUI tools in Linux Lite are among the best available anywhere in the Linux world. Turn to them first unless you are really aware of the processes backgrounding in your command line structure. Ubuntu and Debian are not exactly the same in some cases, and file managers across distros do not always use the same placements.
