Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices This page contains binary image files that allow you to restore your Nexus or Pixel device's original factory firmware.
You will find these files useful if you have flashed custom builds on your device, and wish to return your device to its factory state. Note that it's typically easier and safer to sideload the full OTA image instead. If you do use a factory image, please make sure that you re-lock your bootloader when the process is complete.
These files are for use only on your personal Nexus or Pixel devices and may not be disassembled, decompiled, reverse engineered, modified or redistributed by you or used in any way except as specifically set forth in the license terms that came with your device. While it may be possible to restore certain data backed up to your Google Account, apps and their associated data will be uninstalled. Downloading of the system image and use of the device software is subject to the Google Terms of Service. Ubuntu Rescue Remix.

Linux users have a choice of many different desktop environments, all with their own different styles and strengths. Which desktop environment is best invokes strong feelings. Personally, I have no strong feelings for or against any of the environments available. This is predominately because I still spend a lot of my time either using the Linux console, or, when in X, I end up at a terminal emulator, mostly Terminator. Linux Humor LG #45.
