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.

    Depends on the exact model. The usual way on Linux is via fwupdmgr.

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

        Try it out. I was often pleasantly surprised by the things provided by fwupd.
