From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Has anyone managed to backup an iPhone with iTunes and bottle or wine? (sh.itjust.works)

Hey everyone!

Sadly, I’m forced to have an iPhone because of work. It’s a good device but I hate the philosophy behind it.

Right now I have a windows 10 vm to run iTunes and backup that phone.

It takes around 30gb on my Surface Go 1 with a 128gb ssd.

If I could use bottles or wine to backup my iPhone, it would save me some space and help me fully get rid of windows.

Sadly, last time I tried none of these worked. I think I managed to install iTunes, but then it crashed and sent me some weird messages.

So has anyone managed to backup an iPhone with these programs?

I use idevicebackup2 https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice

This is exactly what I use as well. It’s pretty awesome. Backup and restore work like a charm.

This is what I use as well. It is part of the 'libimobiledevice' package, at least on my system.
