Comment on Apple moves away from iTunes on PC with new Windows apps

• Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I’m actually super down for this. The only thing I use iTunes for is to make encrypted incremental image backups of my phone and iPad. I’d love to just have a specific program for that, rather than all of the iTunes bloat.

  As much as I dislike iTunes. Having a one-click encrypted incremental backups is fucking stellar.

    If only they could create such an app for Linux. That way I could just ditch my windows virtual machine and not try to create a macOS virtual machine🙏

      Ah shoot. I didn’t realize they don’t have that. I guess I will hafta keep a windows computer/partition around when I switch over fully.

      Or a VM is a good idea, I suppose—thank you!

        The VM way works really well and is easier to setup than a dual boot.

        In my experience, windows always wants to be alone on your system 😅

      github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM Is good is you want to make a MacOS VM on Linux.

        Thanks for the answer. It’s still a bit too complicated for me as it involves way more work than just setting up a windows VM in Gnome boxes.

        I might still look at some video tutorials if I can find some 👍
