Updating BIOS via Linux ?

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 know some BIOS update that works with FreeDOS.

Just basically need to flash it into a USB drive and run the BIOS update .exe with it.

There's no exe. They don't even provide BIOS file in the first place.

What do they provide then?

Also, in Linux there's fwupd
