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)?

    For extended phone lifespan, useful for thirdworld countries when OEMs stopped shipping updates to older models. Rooting/Unlocking can give you option to stay in stock and install security updates yourself or installing custom roms like Lineage OS. I use Samsung S9 which it doesn’t recieve updates anymore but I like keeping it so I rooted it to keep up with modern standards.
