BBQLinux and FWUL - 2 Linux distributions for Android developers

[MENTION=5128870]Mich-C[/MENTION] Are you aware of BBQLINUX and FWUL ?

WELCOME TO BBQLINUX

You've reached the website for BBQLinux, a user-friendly Linux distribution made for Android developers.

It has everything on board to build AOSP or AOSP-based distributions like LineageOS or OmniROM.

BBQLinux is based on Arch Linux and is using a rolling release development model which means it is getting continually updated and upgraded. It will never be necessary to re-install a later release of BBQLinux.

It is fully compatible with Arch Linux and is using the Arch package repos plus a BBQLinux specific one.

The default desktop environment is "CINNAMON" but we're also providing images with "MATE", "GNOME", "PLASMA" and "XFCE4".

You can test BBQLinux without doing any modifications to your computer using our live media.

FWUL, the Linux distro designed for Android debugging and modding, hits version 3.0

Chances are, at least once in a lifetime, you needed to flash your Android device or simply use adb or fastboot for debugging purposes. Considering the fact that Windows has more than 80% market share on the operating system market, chances are even higher that you use it. That’s why it’s sometimes so hard to properly use the advanced debugging tools on this platform. I’ve even had problems after reinstalling adb a couple of times, and then using the full Android Studio SDK tools.

That’s where FWUL, a custom Linux distribution for Android debugging comes into play. It was released more than 2 years ago by XDA Recognized Developer steadfasterX. Just a couple of weeks ago, the developer announced the release of version 3.0 of the distribution. Here is the full changelog:

FWUL got an own HOMEPAGE

You may notice that I moved all code to an own gitlab server. The repositories on github.com will stay but are archived, read-only and outdated.

Fresh Manjaro Arch Linux base from the day of release (means all OS packages are top current)
