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’m sorry I can’t help you.
But If you like Linux, sell your iPhone, buy a Pixel and install Graphene OS. It’s the closest thing to a Linux phone that is actually secure, private, FOSS and daily driver worthy.
I’d love to, but I will never give Google another dime, including buying hardware that I’m going to overwrite the OS on.
ignoring the evangelizing you replied to for a moment, you could buy a used one
That’s what I did. Google gave me $250 trade in for my old iPhone 13. Not bad for a phone that I used for 4 years.
