Hi Salors!

I am wondering which Linux distro is the most efficient to use on a desktop when flashing Sailfish OS to an Xperia device!?

I have been reading about some fails using Ubuntu...

Is there some Linux Distribution that can flash devices falwlessly? Which Linux distribution do Jolla employees use when testing and flashing themselves devices? Fedora? Debian? Others?

Thank you so much!

I did it with Ubuntu, 19.10, worked fine. Easiest flash so far.

It's not so much the distro that causes problems but the point of having the latest version of fastboot and ADB installed, that was what made me struggle, once updated was flawless on Linux Mint.

I had failure after failure with Ubuntu, so I switched to Manjaro Linux. Works like a clock!

With Mageia it was like a walk in a park.
