+ <p>The fwupd software used by many traditional Linux distributions (not Android or
+ ChromeOS) has a bug breaking connecting to fastboot devices. The web installer
+ takes slightly longer to connect to the device and is more impacted by this. If
+ you're on a Linux distribution with fwupd running, stop it before proceeding. You
+ can do this by running the following command in a terminal:</p>
+
+ <pre>sudo systemctl stop fwupd.service</pre>
