How to update BIOS on a system that only use Linux as OS.

Asking this because some clowns at Acer decided that they will only provide BIOS updates through Windows Update.

Edit: I’m not talking about installing the BIOS file. They don’t even provide BIOS file in the first place.

    WTF that’s strange. I would have said that BIOS updates should be mainly OS agnostic, but since Acer recommends a windows update to do a BIOS update that throws a wrench in things.

      It is strange indeed. But, my brain didn’t understand what you meant after the first sentence.

        I don’t understand how you’re able to run Linux in the first place with how hard it seems to be for you to understand the replies you got.

          I guess I’m having a rough day overall bad experience with how condescending are people who advocate open source are.

          I really wanted to recommend open source to my friends. And now I’m not so sure. Because when they need any help, where are they supposed to ask?

          For god sake, I’m in Linux4Noobs community.

          Also people really needs to understand that English is not everyone’s first language.
