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!

    Because I see people struggle here trying to get Mac or iPhones to talk to other operating systems and the reason they struggle is that Apple intentionally places as many barriers as possible in the way. This not only hurts Apple users, it hurts the entire ecosphere.
