The new UI is crap. You have to make multiple clicks to look at the status and quantity of different Samsung drives on your system.

Every UI overhaul in history of apps is bad. Well not every but...

Sandisk (WD) application is the same, an astounding number of clicks to inspect values and update firmware different drives.

Somehow that is considered good UX these last 10 years.
I prefer the Japanese approach of showing you everything at once.

Why keep Samsung Magician running? It doesn't offer much besides hard drive statistics and shortcuts to Windows config stuff.
If this were SSD firmware, that'd be different.

There's no Linux support so I couldn't update my ssd firmware even if I wanted to.

that's tough using one of the smallest volume OS in the world

Mine doesn't seem to want to update. Just stuck at "Software Update is in progress".
