If you wanna flash Android phone, or resurrect usb flash, then you’ll NEED windows, I’ve been daily driving Linux for 8 years myself, but sadly, some specific software don’t work under wine and if you run it in virtual machine then you’ll never know what’ll happen, may as well brick device you’re flashing
The crap people will do to avoid just using linux, eh?

flash android phone = putting another OS on it? I use grapheneos, installed from my linux tumbleweed.
you can flash phones through qemu
What manufacturer? If it’s done through Fastboot then no, it’s available on Linux just fine.
But of course, not all manufacturers use Fastboot.
I used it along Linux for gaming but now I’m gonnatruy to game on Linux
