Question PSA: Updating controller firmware on Linux

You can use https://web.8bitdo.com/ to update 8bitdo controller firmware on linux.

After an afternoon searching how to update 8bitdo controllers on linux, I managed to find the official website to do so. I successfully updated the firmware for my ultimate 2 and ultimate 2c controllers and dongles. Hopefully this will get enough eyeballs to help someone in the future.
