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 feel your pain. I’ve searched a bit online and found several different methods (not for Acer though) that all go way over my head. I just leave the BIOS to deprecate on its own by now.
As someone who’s built his own PCs for years, I’ve never really bothered with a BIOS update.
Then again, one of the main reasons to update BIOS is to gain support for new CPUs, but I’ve been using Intel which switches to a new socket or chipset every other generation anyway. I’ve almost always had to buy a new motherboard alongside a new CPU.
I don’t have reason to update BIOS either. But just in case.
Then why are you making such a huge stink over it?
Just learning bro.
