    Too real. I booted up windows last week because I wanted to test something quickly before going to bed… starting it and testing my thing took about 5 mins; but then shutting down took more than half an hour.

      Try ghost spectre. It’s a custom windows that rarely gets update. I didn’t has any problems even with cracked games. But then I left windows for Linux

            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

                I tried install windows on qemu through gnome boxes, it didn’t go well, even though i used gui only options, no tinkering

                  i am fortunate enough to not need a vm often, but the last time i had to use one, i just didnt bother with win11 and used a win 10 installer image. also i think the xiaomi tool didnt/doesnt work with usb 3.0 so i had to use usb 2.0 drivers in order to flash

                    Yes, with Xiaomi there are also Linux terminal app and you can flash through adb/fastboot but i was talking about some obscure hardware like speedtrum cpus and others also obscure memory manufacturers when i ressurect usb flash drives or chinese ssd, i am using Xiaomi poco x3 pro 8/256 and Xiaomi redmi note 4 4/64 and alldocube iplay 30 pro 6/128 and ressurect second hand devices as hobby, when looking for rom reviews i check “channel48” this guy reviews new roms on old hardware

              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.
