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?

  1. Manage music collection - on Windows I used iTunes to sync my mp3’s to the phone. Is there a linux solution?

  2. 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!

    KDE Connect works great to sync SMS from Android to PC, and they have an iPhone app, although I never tested it.

      A lot of the features do not work on iOS, and the ones that do only work with the app actively open, with apple’s strict background execution policies.
