iPhone-LinuxHello iPhone users, Usbmuxd has arrived, released by Marcan42, which works as a library for Linux, with which we can synchronize our iPhone or iPod Touch.













After Apple showed virtually no interest in supporting this operating system, Marcan42 got to work and released Usbmuxd, which appears to be a library that will allow developers of music management applications like Amarok, Rhythmbox, etc., to simply modify a few lines of their source code to synchronize.

Although Linux isn't a widely used operating system, let's remember that some distributions like Ubuntu (which is releasing version 9.10) and Jarro Negro (developed in Mexico by UNAM students) are free, allow you to emulate Windows and Mac programs, are virus-free, have thousands of free applications to install, and are based on UNIX, just like macOS!

Linux is worth considering, and it's easy to install alongside Windows or Mac.
