Accessing OneDrive like a local drive on Linux with onedriver

on
If you’ve ever wished your OneDrive files just appeared in your Linux filesystem, no clunky sync clients, no waiting while 100 GB of data crawl in the background, then meet onedriver . It’s a clever little tool that mounts OneDrive as a native filesystem on Linux, making your cloud files act like local files without actually syncing them all. onedriver mounts your OneDrive account to a directory (for example, ~/OneDrive ) so you can use your files through your file browser or CLI as if they were on your machine.  It does on-demand download : a file is only fetched from OneDrive the moment you try to open it — you don’t have to wait for everything to sync.  Bidirectional behavior: changes on OneDrive show up locally; write operations locally are reflected remotely. (Though “sync” here is more subtle than full-sync clients.)  Works offline for previously opened files. If you lose connectivity, the filesystem becomes read-only until you’re back online.  Installat...

How to Install Lineage OS 21 on the Pixel 8 Pro and Root It

on




Installing a custom ROM like Lineage OS can breathe new life into your device, offering a clean and customizable Android experience. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the process of installing Lineage OS 21 on your Pixel 8 Pro and rooting it.

LineageOS builds for this device require an Android 14 version of the stock OS to be installed prior to following the installation guide

Downloads

   - Lineage OS 21 files for Pixel 8 Pro
   - GApps (Google Apps) package (optional)
   - Magisk for rooting

Ensure ADB and Fastboot are installed on your computer.

Unlock the Bootloader

1. Enable Developer Options: Go to Settings > About phone and tap the Build number 7 times.

2. In Developer options, enable USB debugging

3. In Developer options, toggle on OEM unlocking

4. Connect your phone to your computer via USB.

5. Open a command prompt or terminal on your computer and type:
   
   adb reboot bootloader
   
Once in bootloader mode, type:
   
   fastboot flashing unlock

The phone will be restored to factory defaults. It is crucial to enable USB debugging again.

Download the following files from here.
    • boot.img
    • dtbo.img
    • vendor_kernel_boot.img 
Or use adb reboot bootloader in adb shell


Flash the downloaded image files to your device 


fastboot flash boot "boot.img"

fastboot flash dtbo "dtbo.img"

fastboot flash vendor_kernel_boot "vendor_kernel_boot.img"




Now reboot into recovery to verify the installation.

fastboot reboot recovery 

Download the LineageOS zip file that you would like to install or build the package yourself.
  • Use the menu to navigate to and to select the Recovery option

Now tap Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption and delete all files stored in the internal storage, as well as format your cache partition (if you have one).

Step 3: Install Lineage OS 21

Sideload the LineageOS .zip package but do not reboot before you read/followed the rest of the instructions!
  • On the device, select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB” to begin sideload.
  • Using platform tools, sideload the package using: adb sideload "filename.zip."

WARNING: If you want to install Google Apps add-on package (use the arm64 architecture), you can download it from here. This add-on needs to be installed before booting into LineageOS for the first time!

After the package is installed, recovery will inform you that reboot to recovery is required to install add-ons. In case you want to do that, please select “Yes,” otherwise “No”.

It is necessary to rename "magisk.apk" to "magisk.zip" prior to flashing.
