This solves such an important need, updating device firmware and bios’ was such a pain for the longest time, most manufacturers tend to give out only Windows executables- if you are lucky then some DOS compatible binary might be included, and then you could boot into FreeDOS.
BIOS's got better about reading their own firmware from VFAT, but still getting the driver was a pain, because there was a strong preference for .exe's on websites.
Seems much better now, I can run a small handful of commands and have my bios updated. It's still hard to know which motherboards/laptops are compatible with fwupd though.
