sudo dnf install android-tools
If you cannot tolerate the performance overhead of a VM, or if your device needs direct hardware access that VMs block (e.g., JTAG or specific low-level flash modes), dual-booting Windows is the answer.
| Pros | Cons |
| :--- | :--- |
| 100% functional; all Dr.Fone modules work. | Requires high RAM and CPU usage. |
| No need to reboot your Linux session. | USB passthrough can be finicky with some kernels. |
| Safe; your host Linux data is isolated. | Speed is slightly slower than bare-metal (still fine for recovery). |
Recommendation: If you have a modern laptop/PC (i5 or Ryzen 5, 16GB RAM), this is your best bet.
