[NeoTheThird <neo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We do most of our development on Ubuntu, so all our tools are best 
tested there, but the before mentioned UBports installer targets all 
platforms (GNU+Linux, macOS and Windows). It's an electron app (*dodges 
the rotten tomatoes*): https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases

Also, Magic device tool has a snap that should run on all platforms that 
support snaps, afaik: sudo snap install magic-device-tool --devmode

The Ubuntu Device Flash method will probably only work on Ubuntu and i'm 
not sure about the switch to UBports script...

Don't try flashing from a virtual machine, btw, they tend to loose 
connection to USB devices.

Good luck,

Jan
