can I use this to install monitor drivers? make a bootable usb, add the installer onto the bootable usb and install the firmware? https://www.lg.com/au/support/product-support/cs-32GS95UE-B....

I thought about doing it through WINE, but that kinda scares me.

unfortunately my monitor received new firmware only installable through an exe, I only have my linux desktop

Sometimes simple utilities like this are runnable under FreeDOS/MS-DOS booted from a USB flash drive and/or CD. Other times, you need Win32, and would use something like modern Hiren’s Boot CD, which is Windows 10 based iirc, unlike the original releases which were XP based iirc.
