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.
The thing is, first time I tried using a VM my whole system lagged and froze.
Others mentioned virtualization — I have had issues with COW filesystems (btrfs), as COW does not always play nicely with VM drives (extreme fragmentation and very poor performance).
Sometimes you need to enable something in the bios (virtualization? i forget what it’s called)
That sounds like a missing virtualization extension of your cpu. Can you share your pc stats? Cpu model, ram, gpu?
I think you’re on to something. I have a 10 year old laptop with linux, 4 cores, 8gb of ram, a mechanical drive, and a win10 vm on it and it runs fine for it’s purpose.
