What's the easiest way to update bios on my Ubuntu laptop without a USB? (lemm.ee)

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.

I haven't tried this, but if you are required to run an exe then you could try it from a Windows preinstall environment.
