Currently it supports AppImage, but Flatpak version will possibly be available in future: https://github.com/iDescriptor/iDescriptor/issues/1
Holy shit. I was planning on moving to Linux very soon but this is going to make that faster.
Honestly… I come from iOS, using for nearly a decade. Yes that stuff is secure, yes that stuff is (or at least was) stable, yes that stuff is slick to the point of being a status symbol… but DAMN does it suck for interoperability!
Every success of bringing the Apple ecosystem to interact with anything is just so ridiculously hard… for in the end bringing very little.
Do yourself a favor, switch to (deGoogled) Android to enjoy KDE Connect, adb, scrcpy, etc just working out of the box, copying normal files the normal way, however you want. Try “just” Linux if you can’t but on mobile that’s not for everyone.
Again, I celebrate this success and all ways, e.g.
iSHorHomebrew, that help to tinker, manage, work with Apple hardware but honestly I suggest ignoring it entirely. Just rely on software and hardware that actually provides the bare minimum to be interoperable. Not this.Instead use this, and
iSH,Homebrew,libimobiledevice, and the rest to transition AWAY from that locked ecosystem.Switching phones isn’t necessarily easy or doable for everyone. I’ve got my device already, I appreciate this new app since it’s usable without me spending more money or changing everything about my mobile device.
Switching phones is easy or doable for everyone, assuming you just switch when you’re upgrading your phone anyways.
Wow, this has a ton of features.
Bless. I have a crap ton of porn organized in folders. I wanna back it up (most of it is my wife). Now I can by mounting the filesystem since I only use Linux at home. Hooray what a hero the dev is.
They’re gonna put a screenshot of this next to the dictionary definition of “Too much information”
The dev and the people need to know!
Sounds like iDescriptor needs a “happy customers”-style quote section on their GitHub.
QUOTE ME ON THIS SHIT
I, too, choose that guys wife
Hell ya that shits fun
quite particular use case you have
Yes and finally now there is a solution. Go team.
Looks amazing. I was just thinking about my friend who keeps Windows around for iTunes syncing yesterday, one more thing I can suggest to people moving to Linux.
something to note that it doesn’t support syncing your music to Apple Music, but you were always able to send them to VLC.
I didn’t see anywhere about it being able to install/restore system images, I’m assuming it can do that given what it’s based on though.
This is the only thing I’d use it for, so it would be nice if it could do it.
Appimages and flatpaks frustrate validation and thus break iso27002.
Anything else?
