Linux Fix Fastboot "no permissions, verify udev rules"
Determine your device id
Unplug your device from the computer and type lsusb in the terminal. You should get an output similar to this:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Xiaomi's locked bootloader is insecure and useless
Xiaomi's locked bootloader is insecure and useless
Your phone should have a locked bootloader, as it ensures the integrity of the software running on the device. This is especially relevant for Xiaomi phones, which are often loaded with all sorts of crapware by shady merchants. These vendor ROM's are a serious security risk. You really don't want to run that shit, so do your research very carefully when importing a Xiaomi device to ensure it hasn't been tampered with.
So, Xiaomi makes these nice phones and those vendors just ruin it all. They do the logical thing and start locking devices. But even today, vendor ROM's are still a thing! Even the brand new edgeless Mi Mix isn't safe.
A proof is a argument that a statement is true, where the argument is
written in a formalized, very specific language. The concept of what a
proof is can be confusing, so I want to make an extended analogy to
computer programs and programming languages.
(I think that people who know computer programming are in a uniquely
good position to understand mathematical logic.)
