As a lifelong Windows user I’ve just for the first time switched to Ubuntu and I’m learning how to navigate the system but I haven’t found an easy way to update my Carbon’s X1 Gen 6 BIOS from its hard disk and would appreciate any advice.

I’d be also happy to hear what I should do as a newcomer to Ubuntu to make my experience with it better and have an easier time overall.

Do you have the fwupdmgr app? On Lenovo laptops, I think you can just use sudo fwupdmgr update.
