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.

      So, you are suggesting to use Windows just to update BIOS. ( Asking for clarification )

      Also not exactly sure how that would work unless you could download the update in a browser and it is executable in Windows as an exe and not coming from Windows Update.

      They don’t even provide BIOS file in the first place.

          Just installing Windows for this one purpose

          That’s a bummer

          Just curious, why do you want to update your BIOS?

          Because I’m also curious. not actually wanting to update BIOS.

        So, you are suggesting to use Windows just to update BIOS.

        So, you are refusing to accept that you might just not have any other options.
