I think it's due to modern stuff such as UEFI and the TPM. There are hacks you can do to flash the BIOS from Linux though, but I always fear bricking my laptop

I think it's due to modern stuff such as UEFI and the TPM. There are hacks you can do to flash the BIOS from Linux though, but I always fear bricking my laptop, so I prefer to use the OEM tool.

UEFI makes bios flashing easier & with fwupd (thanks RedHat / Richard Hughes!) it “just works” for those manufacturers that do the work to integrate with the fwupd infrastructure.
