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.

    Usually you can extract the windows updater exe and use the bios/bin/upd file via mainboard bios update mechanisms

      They don’t even provide BIOS file in the first place. So no exe to extract.
