not necessarily, for example some laptop oems do not use the standard format and you cant just extract them from the exe so you have to use windows

dual boot, you never know when will you be forced to use windows again

• and for those who suggest VM, there are situations where its a hassle to make thing work or its impossible all together ( updating bios is one of those )

aww man is that still a thing ( as in working )

Yes it will but it wont be able to handle +4 GB files

This is weired, i might be blind because i don’t see any LINUX

KDE connect on both your PC and phone just use --no-install-recommends to avoid KDE bloat

Huh, intersting

Brother’s driver install tool expects dnf, apt, or yum, and so it’s incompatible with ostree-based systems like Kinoite or Silverblue. You can of course download the driver manually and install the necessary packages:

Not being able to provide support for every distro is the other edge of open source

Your phone has a snapdragon which is very popular chip to make ROM for but generally hard to unlock unofficially -not impossible though it’s possible there is a workaround by now for your specific chip - on the flip side mediatek devices are less popular due to them refusing to provide the source code but to their partners. however they are well-known to be easy to unofficially unlock due to some vulnerability -in the bootloader- that they refuse to patch.

I did a leap of faith and I unlocked my phone unofficially (mediatek) but if you decide to flip that coin think hard about it and make sure you are well informed (like using your specific phone code name instead of brand name ex: instead of redmi 9 say “lancelot”)

As long as your pc is a little bit behind its gonna be ok (unless you have a certain wifi chip)

Here you go pal

Although it’s a shame they don’t have a vanilla variant for your phone model

Few advices before you start:

• Before unlocking your bootloader be sure to logout from all your account esspecialy google ( otherwise you might get locked out from your device )

• The unlocking process can be a bitch ( The process has a Wait time. )

• Before all that be sure to download your original rom ( also known as R_vendor ) and twrp for your specific device model

• Also note that flashing your rom can be stressful and (in case something went wrong) It might require some time to fix everything up.

Do I still recommend it? Yes.

Edit: if you are locking for a guide i recomend this one

I got it
