The Linux foundation seems ready to finally axe a Microsoft-made remote network protocol for USB that is still a part of modern Windows operating systems.
So if my mint install updates I won’t be able to use USB tethering? Is there a way to update my phone to use USB CDC NCM? Or would I have better luck recompiling my mint install to add the standard they just removed? I’m pretty new to Linux (literally made the switch last November) and I sadly have to use USB tethering when my ISP shits the bed with routing to the US
It should be possible to switch to NCM by just flip a switch fron 0 (RNDIS) to 1 (NCM) via RRO (Runtime Resource Overlay), but adding new overlay require you have right to modify system image.
