This situation sucks. My father has an Acer laptop like it -- the only way to update the BIOS/UEFI is through Windows. My workaround is a SSD with a USB interface loaded with Windows. It is essentially the Windows2Go drive. It was created using Rufus and Windows 10. I boot the laptop to the thumb drive, install the BIOS/UEFI update, remove the thumb drive, and then return the machine back to Linux. (The thumb drive is the only Windows machine in our house).
