Updating the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) on a Lenovo system from Linux can be done using the fwupd utility. This utility allows you to update the BIOS on your Lenovo system from the command line, without the need to boot into Windows.
Here are the steps to update the BIOS on a Lenovo system from Linux using fwupd:
Open a terminal window and log in to the system as the root user.
Make sure that the fwupd utility is installed on your system. If it is not already installed, you can install it using your system's package manager. For example, on a Fedora system, you can use the following command to install fwupd:
dnf install fwupd
On a Debian or Ubuntu system, you can use the following command to install fwupd:
apt-get install fwupd
fwupd is installed, run the following command to check for available BIOS updates:fwupdmgr get-devices
This command will list all of the devices on your system that have firmware updates available. Look for the device with the name "BIOS" in the list.
fwupdmgr update --device=<device_id>
Replace <device_id> with the ID of the "BIOS" device that you identified in the previous step.
This command will download and install the latest BIOS update for your Lenovo system.
It is important to note that updating the BIOS can be a risky process, and it is important to follow the instructions carefully to avoid causing any damage to your system. Make sure to read and understand any instructions provided by Lenovo before proceeding with the update.
