How do I update my BIOS from an Ubuntu for my machine (Ideapad 5-15ITL05 Laptop - Type 82FG)? checking the manufacture website:

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/il/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/5-series/ideapad-5-15itl05/82fg/82fg009riv/pf2js18r

There is a new bios version. They only have a .exe file.
I have wine, and am afraid running an exe from wine that updates a bios, if that makes any sense. I contacted the support so they might send me a file i can slap on a usb and boot, but Lenovos response was "We do not support Linux OS. please contact Linux for support." (get it?)

You should be able to Flash BIOS with UEFI Tool on a (FAT32) usb stick as in : https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht118103-flash-bios-with-uefi-tool-ideacentre-stick-300 (I didn't know it 2" ago, so that's why I'm writing it down somewhere ..)
