You can start the restore/factory reset from the phone. But if you need iTunes after, then you probably have to run windows in a vm like qemu. Also might want to pass trough ‘usb hub’ to that wm. Wich if the usb controller share several ports you would want to use mouse and kb on different usb-controller.

I remember buying once since it came with a mandrake linux cd. Did buy a few more too, was a good read.

Cachyos, since I like archlinux and the things it comes with I would install on arch. There’s even a few things that would have to be compiled from aur that’s in their repository pre-compiled.

Might fix it self with a pacman -Syu
