From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This reminds me of that time where my mum entered the fastboot menu on her phone by mistake. She panicked and I just told her to restart, making sure she holds only the power button this time. It also reminds me of the first time I got into my first smart device (my Tablet's) bootloader by mistake. I was 10, my parents had just bought me the tablet like a week ago and I was at my grandma's so I understandably panicked a lot. But of course, no damage was done.
Now phones lock bootloaders, to protect others from making the same mistake you did.
Isn't that so nice of them? /s
That /s is carrying so much of that comment. I'm running a custom ROM, BTW.
Usually you can still enter fastboot, just not do anything except factory reset, or flash signed firmware.
Conversely me, the first time I did this on my Galaxy S2: H A C K E R M A N
