▲ 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.
