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.

fwupd is a cool Linux project that can update device firmware if the vendor participates. Check to see if your hardware is supported.
