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.

    You could try fwupd

    There’s also more things you can try on the Arch Wiki (don’t just blindly follow the guides if you’r on another distro though)

      I don’t think fwupd has firmware for this particular laptop. ( Acer One 14 Z2-493 )

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