The crap people will do to avoid just using linux, eh?
If you wanna flash Android phone, or resurrect usb flash, then you'll NEED windows, I've been daily driving Linux for 8 years myself, but sadly, some specific software don't work under wine and if you run it in virtual machine then you'll never know what'll happen, may as well brick device you're flashing
flash android phone = putting another OS on it? I use grapheneos, installed from my linux tumbleweed.
Nah man, lineage os on chinese unsupported phones, trying to give new life to abandoned hardware
ADB and Fastboot both run natively on Linux. I don't think I've needed other tools since the HP Touchpad days. And that didn't come with Android in the first place.
Lineage is trash anyway: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/lineageos-weder-sicher-noch-datenschutzfreundlich-custom-roms-teil4/ Use browser translate
That does not sound like trash to me. I can see how those issues with Google connections are problematic for some users, but as the article acknowledges, lineage is primarily targeting people who want to update their old devices. Sounds like degoogling is best done with a different rom is all.
What manufacturer? If it's done through Fastboot then no, it's available on Linux just fine.
But of course, not all manufacturers use Fastboot.
I used it along Linux for gaming but now I'm gonnatruy to game on Linux
