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.

      I think they, and others, are telling you the manufacturer has given you the choice of use Windows, or dont update.

      And I get it, that is a not a great choice.

      But if you want the update, use peoples suggestions.

        Thank you.

        I think it’s stupid to provide something hardware related like BIOS exclusively through a particular proprietary software like Windows.
