We can use linux command line from termux by installing any distro like Ubuntu, Fedora. And if we install any desktop in it, then we can use it with VNC. https://github.com/termux/proot-distro
Some apps are also there like AnLinux.

If you're asking how to install Linux Mint along side Windows 8.1, then please do check out this awesome guide - http://itsfoss.com/guide-install-linux-mint-16-dual-boot-windows/
Basically you need to create 2 partitions - one for swap and one which is the file system for linux. Just as windows file systems are NTFS, FAT, FAT32, similarly Linux needs to be installed on a compatible file system like ext4.
After installing Linux Mint, download Flashtool and see the instructions here - http://www.flashtool.net/install.php
In order to start Flashtool, you need to cd to the folder and then execute Flashtool by running this command -
Code:
./Flashtool
And flashtool will start

I get this:
Code:
luuk-home FlashTool # ./FlashTool
Running as root.
JAVA_HOME not set. Using default value : ./x10flasher_lib/linjre64
libusb.LibUsbException: Libusb not found. Minimum libusb version is 1.0.15. It can be downloaded on http://www.libusbx.org
at libusb.UsbSystem.initSystem(UsbSystem.java:28)

luuk-home FlashTool #
So I went to the website libusbx.org. Downoad the latest version libusbx-1.0.17. CD into the folder via terminal and run:
./configure && make && make install && sudo ldconfig
(with su rights ofcourse)
And then I try to run FlashTool again and I get the same error..
Anyone? I still have not figured it out.. I tried now with latest libusbx 18 rc, but also not works.. same error.
Code:
pau-1005PE FlashTool # ./FlashTool
Running as root.
JAVA_HOME not set. Using default value : ./x10flasher_lib/linjre32

Complete Linux Installer

What I have tested so far:
1) Cannot install chrome using traditional apt-get command as it will not let me load the repository. Getting a GPG error.
2) Cannot install chrome using .deb file because I can't even force architecture to allow it to run since i'm on armhf.
3) Can't install wine ppa/wine to emulate windows chrome to allow extension to be installed.
Are there any users so far that have been able to install chrome browser stable on any linnux distro for the N7 v2? Any tips for doing so?

Same as windows but easier, do sudo apt-get install android-tools then just follow the other guides on here but don't do the parts where it says to install adb and setup drivers
If android-tools doesn't work (can't remember the exact package name as I don't use Debian distros) then try phablet-tools

I think he's talking about the fact that the scripts to root are windows scripts.
Maybe I can look at the windows-script and transfer the commands to Linux. But I would be glad, if someone can name the needed commands. The last Asus device, I have rooted under Linux, was a Nexus 7 and this was very easy, same with a LG P880. It is always an adventure, when you have to fear you brick the phone.
This is already installed:
ii android-tools-adb 4.2.2+git20130218-3ubuntu23 amd64 Android Debug Bridge CLI tool
ii android-tools-fastboot 4.2.2+git20130218-3ubuntu23 amd64 Android Fastboot protocol CLI tool

But I don't know, if it is necessary to define udev-rules.

Replacing stock 6.0 system.img with rooted system.img? (like 13b root method)

Are we able to take our firmware to 6.0 (2BA) and swap out the system.img with a rooted system.img like we did on 13b?
I am currently unable to UsE because I only have a mini laptop that's 32 bit and I cannot get ANYTHING to work, I cannot even boot FWUL in Virtual Box, live, nothing.... ..
I am currently in 13b root and there are NO custom roms I can use. Nothing. And no way to upgrade and keep root I believe?.

not posable...
google made a verification system for Android 6.0+ (locked bootloader only) that will check if anything in the system partition has changed...
I believe SALT can run on any architecture( x86 32 or 64bit, arm, arm64, etc ). you can use a different distro and install salt from there. you can use Linux Mint or MX Linux since They still have 32bit versions and are easier to use. you can use VirtualBox (have to install the distro) or USB(you can run directly off of it). to start the installation of SALT you need an internet connection. open terminal by Ctrl + Alt + t or by searching it in the app menu.
type these commands in the terminal:
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install policykit-1 yad git xterm python3 python3-usb python3-crypto python3-pip
sudo pip3 install zstandard
git clone [url]https://github.com/steadfasterX/SALT.git[/url]
cd SALT
sudo ~/SALT/salt
after that just follow the USU thread...
