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 had an Acer laptop once. I had Ubuntu on it. I had problems with random crashing after a few minutes, I ran memtest, it took a few hours for a full test and came back with a whole slew of faults. I sent it to Acer under warranty and they told me that Linux was the problem and I should leave windows on it.
I called the “technical” support regarding this issue. And they said they’ll only support Windows.
Making your entire hardware reliant on particular proprietary software like Windows is just stupid.
Never buying Acer again.
At this point, I don’t even know which vendor to buy, when everybody is shit.
Tuxedo, Framework, Slimbook, System76, Starlabs are Linux-first vendors with an excellent track record.
I know and Framework is just mouth watering. And Chad76 created their own distro and DE.
it’s just sad that they are not selling on my country.
