By install another distro, I meant install a distro that has a nonfree repo(I’m using pureos), and just boot from a usb. I’m not sure how steam is packaged, but I’d imagine it would go against the point of a distro like pureos.
Thanks for the invite, I decided to have a squizz at the github, and saw that
Do you think that Wine-GE might be better for GOG games? I remember Wine-GE working fine for me before.
Thanks for the input, do you use the official steam client?
It’s just a preference, I prefer downloading from GOG, without the DRM or proprietary clients. Edit: I know steam has an open source command line tool
Proton is Wine with prefixes
Can you elaborate? Do you mean that it includes prefixes with it?
emulation for old games isn’t so demanding
By old, I meant 2010 to 2015, which is where my laptop reaches it’s limits. I’ve tried ps3 emulation and it couldn’t pull that off, and there is no emulator for 360 on linux(that I know of).
Yeah check out my edited comment, some of the links I provided weren’t accurate
Of course, it’s understandable. You’ve got a pretty solid selection of devices to start your Android modification journey. Eventually, you won’t need any guides, It’s just a matter of experience. I think I tried rooting or flashing new OSes to three devices before I really got the hang of it. Also, I’ve just reviewed a few of my links and some of them aren’t the highest quality or the most comprehensible, so I’ll edit my comment soon.
OP did google, just didn’t find good guides.
I actually have done a massive amount of research but most of the instructions I’ve found are vague in some respects, sometimes they’re outdated, and sometimes they just assume too much. I’ve literally seen ones that say like “1. Unlock boot loader. 2. Load new rom. 3…. Etc” I was like “uh… how about any clue on how to do those things? Even a link to sub-procedures where it’s already documented.
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had issues like that, I can imagine how that would be upsetting. If you do hit a roadblock like that, I’m sure that people can help if you post here. I only said my original comment because I didn’t understand the question right. I misinterpreted and thought that you were asking for something like my second comment, with every single device listed and a guide or something on how to root it. Guides really do vary in quality, and your mileage really will vary with them.
Thank you! Unfortunately I was one of the negative commenters. Didn’t mean to be rude, I just wanted to ask that you do a bit of searching before asking questions, I’m sorry if I came off as an asshole.

List of root availability status and guide if available
Some of these may not be as comprehensive as you like, but most of them seemed relatively simple. Also don’t get discouraged by me not being able to find any info about them. If you put more effort in you might have better results.
BE CAUTIOUS! There are plenty of fake TWRP and Magisk websites, but the only place to get Official TWRP is twrp.me, or if it’s not supported on your device, you can get a community build. The only place to get Magisk is on the Github page. It comes as an APK, but can be converted to a zip and flashed.
I hate to say this, but lemmy is not your search engine. If you need help rooting, feel free to ask here, but it’s a tad bit inconsiderate to ask for directions on every single device, or ask people to do research on every single device. Not to mention, you didn’t specify the carrier or lock status of the devices.
Edit: I misunderstood the post
Ok, I could probably take on 50 at a time, maybe 150 if it’s one on one.
DO NOT BUY FROM VERIZON if you want to unlock your bootloader. This also applies to Rogers in Canada and EE in the UK. They will force your bootloader to be locked for life, creating more e-waste. This sounds sketchy, needing to keep a phone on the same Android install to be unlocked. I would not advise you to buy this device, because I’ve never heard of this phenomenon. I can’t say for sure, but it sounds like the seller may have installed malicious apps that will be removed if the device is factory reset, so the sellers wants you to not reset it in order to keep the malicious app on the system. This is just a guess, and this could be a new scummy thing created by carriers to keep their customers attached to them.
Do infections count as a loss? If I get an infection from one and die, does that mean I couldn’t take them on? Also, is it one at a time or all of them coming at me.
iFixit said the same, aswell as that removing the screen will break it, even with special care taken.
pixel besties is diabolical
yeah i love RON, I hope a libre version of it gets made…
