Comment on Apple moves away from iTunes on PC with new Windows apps
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months agoI’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 😅

My close friend told me
NEVER INSTALL BOTH ON YOUR MAIN DRIVE IT WILL FUCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
will windows on an external SSD work okay for games and stuff? I’m mega new to Linux.

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 👍

It’s not so difficult if you don’t need to spoof a serial number. It does take hours of just waiting for it to install, though.
