Switched to Linux a little over a year ago and it’s been great, but one thing eludes me. What’s the best way to do the following when you don’t use Windows or MacOS?
-
Manage music collection - on Windows I used iTunes to sync my mp3’s to the phone. Is there a linux solution?
-
Manage SMS from desktop - I’d like to be able to read and reply to SMS messages on my iPhone from the linux PC right in front of me instead of this rinky dink iPhone soft keyboard. Is this possible?
And how the hell does anyone but a child type on an iPhone anyway, while we’re at it? (rhetorical) Grrrr.
Thanks!
I don’t have advice for an iOS user. I will say that Android is far more flexible for Linux users. So, maybe go Android?
I used to do custom ROM Android phones but Google is persona non grata with me for the rest of their existence, sadly.

After ducking for five seconds this article seems alright:

Your comment still stands though it is simply worlds easier pairing an android with Linux.
“Ducking” is so much better than “Googling”. I’m using that.
