Updating BIOS via Linux ? (self.linux4noobs)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by gpstarman to c/linux4noobs@programming.dev
 

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 fwupd support is present from Acer, which it may not be, fwupd will download the update itself.
