Do you have the fwupdmgr app? On Lenovo laptops, I think you can just use sudo fwupdmgr update.
@SurpriZe If you're using Ubuntu 24.04, you may have a Firmware Updater app preinstalled. Try launching that and see if it can pull the firmware update from LVFS.
Failing that, I think the only safe way is to do the update from Windows. I generally recommend using Hiren's Boot CD PE for that sort of thing.
That's a good question. I have a few devices that are Linux compatible but require Windows to upgrade the firmware. I don't know if I trust Wine or Bottles enough to run these applications to update a BIOS. Or if it's even going to work?
I can always update device firmware through a Windows VM, but not my PC hardware.
