I have Linux Mint installed on my work PC. As I work with IT I am sometimes tasked with doing stuff like restoring Iphones and such, which is normally done through Itunes. But there’s no Linux support for Itunes, and I haven’t been able to install it through Wine. I also can’t use a VM as my PC isn’t powerful enough for it. I’m hoping there’s a solution for this, as I will have to re-install Windows if I can’t get it to work on Linux, and I really want to avoid that.
A few options
1,Getting a Mac with apple silicon and install asahi , dual boot. 2. Add a new SSD and some ram to your current one and enable virtualization in bios. Might need a bios update as well. 3 Dual boot windows , might want to check out https://ameliorated.io/ 4 Get a old crappy Mac just for the itunes. 5. Use the Linux tools mentioned earlier
Absolutely, but OP will have to explain a bit to their boss why. Maybe we can help OP there?
Fuck that walled garden is not a business value added task so can we, as a community who cares how openness, translate that to C-suite MBA speech?
Maybe Ubuntu, RedHat, and other company selling FLOSS have reports to help there.
This is nearly 20 years old but give the idea of the words needed https://www.cio.com/article/274764/operating-systems-the-tco-of-operating-systems-compare-the-big-oses.html
Here is something a bit more recent https://umatechnology.org/comparing-operating-system-costs-windows-macos-linux/ but again this isn’t to give an “answer” but at least understanding management perspective, which is not really a technical one but rather a cost/value one.
