Microsoft’s Windows platform has been the single most widely-used desktop OS for decades, only recently sliding to second place behind Android as the most popular operating system used to browse the Internet. As popular as these two platforms are, unfortunately there are still intercommunication issues that can frustrate any user who owns a Windows computer and an Android phone (which is millions). These issues are especially prominent when dealing with ADB and Fastboot. Android enthusiasts, being no strangers to tinkering, have sought to remedy this in a variety of ways. But sometimes, no matter how many times you boot into safe mode, reinstall your drivers, install new drivers, or mess with system settings, you just can't get your Windows computer to recognize your Android phone. To that end, XDA senior member steadfasterX released "Forget Windows Use Linux" (FWUL) - a bootable GNU/Linux ISO geared specifically towards Windows users who need to communicate more reliably with Android.
