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)?

EDIT:

Thanks to a number of answers on here I’ve managed to find my way and rooted my phone. Thanks again, guys!

    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.

      How do you keep up to date? LineageOS just stopped updating S9 in December
