As a lifelong Windows user I’ve just for the first time switched to Ubuntu and I’m learning how to navigate the system but I haven’t found an easy way to update my Carbon’s X1 Gen 6 BIOS from its hard disk and would appreciate any advice.

I’d be also happy to hear what I should do as a newcomer to Ubuntu to make my experience with it better and have an easier time overall.

Yes but they don’t have my laptop in the device list: no Carbon X1 Gen 6 (only Gen 9)

There’s a lot of “X1 Carbon 6th” listed here.

I have that laptop and I’ve gotten quite a few updates through fwupd.
