Does this mean the title should read something like "Due to Android 10 update, Linux on DeX will now require a jailbreak whereas it did not before"?
- bitwize 7y agoLike Samsung is going to ever admit that jailbreaks exist. They'd sooner cancel the app and uninstall it from everyone's device.

That's why I mentioned Qualcomm, as the issues tended to be related to those, and I suspect the use of Qualcomm chips might be related to them having such annoying process for unlocking - and the greedy US carriers requiring that.
