From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Android rooting tools? (lemmy.world)

I've rooted my android phone many years ago. Back then that was a different phone than I have now, and I was still using Windows.

I'm now trying to find a way to root my current phone (Motorola g62 5G), and have no idea how to do it through Linux. However, I seem to only be able to find instructions that are specific to windows.

How would I go about doing this on Linux (specifically Ubuntu)?
