From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Currently it supports AppImage, but Flatpak version will possibly be available in future: https://github.com/iDescriptor/iDescriptor/issues/1

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.

Sounds like iDescriptor needs a "happy customers"-style quote section on their GitHub.

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.
