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.

Also, I don't think fwupd has firmware for this particular laptop. ( Acer One 14 Z2-493 )

That's the thing - there is no option to update BIOS on Linux then.

You must install Windows or maybe use one of those unofficial Windows Live USB images.
