▲ 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.

Only thing I own now that is made by Razer is a mouse. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] toastal@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago Funny is that they did a big push for a hot minute to be the next developer-friendly laptop goto as they had a lot of power & æsthetics that were slim & looked alright in an office compared to everything else at the time where gaming laptops needed RGB & a hood scoop while non-gaming laptop suffered massively in performance. I picked one up around that announcement, but a few years & they completetly doubled back. permalink fedilink source parent
