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.

    fwupd is a cool Linux project that can update device firmware if the vendor participates. Check to see if your hardware is supported.

      Thank you.

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

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