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.

If it can’t be found and installed through fwupd and the maufacturer does not provide a file to install firectly, your next best bet is to create a portable windows installation with something like rufus and install it from there. Or contact their customer support.
