You might have, without realising it. It's supplied as a package in nearly every distro.

Here's the Debian package for the Intel microcode, for example:

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/intel-microcode

Debian hides it away in their "non-free" repo but it's in the default install in many other distros.

To add, you can do:

    dmesg | grep "microcode updated early to"
To see when it was last updated.
