idk if anyone wants to do a second review as i haven't reviewed significant PRs on this repo before, but other than my minor inline comment about docs, this lgtm

doc/orbic.md Outdated
It's possible that many tutorials out there still refer to some of the old
installation routines.

should we just delete this section? it refers to orbic-network as experimental and i think all information here is now included in installing-from-release.md

i could've sworn i did that. the intent was to replace them with "The USB installer" docs as the two swapped places but now i can't be arsed to write those docs (also still not sure where to re-add the windows zadig docs)

Are we actually going to remove it? It does do something useful, which is put the device into adb mode. Very helpful for transferring files as a poweruser.

+1 we should not remove the USB installer, for several reasons.

I did expect us to eventually remove it if we at some point reach feature parity wrt shell and file transfer utils. but point taken.

I would like to encourage people to report bugs with the network installer even if they are currently using the USB Installer. I think we should somehow discourage its use for non power users.
