Flash-CHIP VS website

In the Linux machine: run git clone https://github.com/thore-krug/Flash-CHIP.git to clone this repository.cd into the location where you stored this repository.run sudo chmod +x Flash.shrun ./Flash.shSelect the version you want to install.Wait until the installation finishes.Enjoy!

Using Ubuntu 22.04 I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/Thore-Krug/Flash-CHIP This only ever resulted in the invalid fastboot option as I explained in my original post. The fix for that was to download an older version of platform-tools and replace the new version that doesn't work, with the older version that does accept the -i command.

Or if you’ve got a Linux machine, try this: https://github.com/Thore-Krug/Flash-CHIP

Hi, I found my chip that I haven't touched in quite some time. I think at one point I updated the OS to debian it seems to be using the Awesome window manager. I want to change back to the original SW. I found the Thore-Krug github and followed the directions there. I put a jumper between FEL and GND. It took about 30 min trying different USB cables and USB ports before I was able to have it show up in lsusb:

When trying to flash your C.H.I.P. with a script like Thore-Krug's Flash-CHIP or from the CHIP-SDK (download + instructions for that are in this article), you might run into an error like:

I hear you, but they've all moved along in leaps and bounds. Some options if you ever look again -

* ElementaryOS(https://elementary.io/)

I’ve seen Raycast adjacent apps for Linux, but I don’t know what the current go-to all the kids are using these days. I used Quicksilver on OS X back in the day, which kind of defined the category I think. But these days I try to keep it simple.

Elementary OS seems to be trying to solve for the design issue, but it’s not as polished as macOS and there are still all the 3rd party apps to contend with. I’ve tried it, and it didn’t have me considering a full time switch.

For me, one of the big things keeping me on macOS is the sync between devices. 20 years ago it seemed much easier to move to Linux, because I didn’t have to worry about my contacts, calendar, etc being in sync everywhere. Having all that stuff, and the handoff between devices, just work is a huge benefit. There are probably ways to sync various things between iOS and Linux, but then researching all the options, setting it up, and keeping up on it all, becomes a hobby. That’s not a hobby I want at this stage of my life.

I thought ElementaryOS was dead due to infighting between the two cofounders, but it still seems to be going: https://elementary.io/

(I installed it on one box a few years ago and liked it, but moved back to Ubuntu once I learned about its conflict in the team.)

As an alternative to the other (great) suggestions, check out ElementaryOS.

But get an old laptop, download and install on it https://elementary.io/, or PopOS or Debian (they all resemble macOS) or whatever distro you like the most. And start tinkering.

I would suggest installing elementaryOS inside a VM, and follow their getting started guide

Elementary OS e un distro de Linux cu aspect de macos

Maybe take a look at https://elementary.io/? It was one of the better "out of the box" linux distros when I was last using linux.

It warms my heart seeing all my fellow linux users here! 😊 I personally use elementary OS because the desktop is pretty 🥺. Also, the lead of the project is a trans woman!
