▲ 85 ▼ Updating BIOS via Linux ? (lemmy.today) submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by gpstarman@lemmy.today to c/linux@lemmy.ml 69 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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 would buy one and put Windows on it when sending back for warranty repair. OP should actually just do this for the BIOS update and then swap out the SSD back to the Linux one after. permalink fedilink source parent
