I can recommend the other way round:

For un-bricking my phone, I had to use some proprietary windows-only software. So I took an old Laptop and installed Windows 10.

Installing it was such a pain already. So many dark patterns, so many privacy issues. I even had to create a microsoft account!

After the deed was done, I closed the Laprop, went back to my Linux system and enjoyed it even more :-)
