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.

Linux for iPod? (midwest.social)

I found my 7th gen iPod Touch running 15.8.2. This device is no longer supported by Apple so I can’t Sign in with Apple ID to do anything useful. Any ideas of how I can save this device from becoming e-waste? I was trying to add Delta emulator to use it for roms but no luck.

Any ideas/suggestions?? 🤷🏼‍♀️ TYIA 💜

I wouldn’t trust that article on iOS 15 jailbreaks. A lot of those is misleading/fake (e.g. Checkra1n only supports iOS 12-14, unc0ver does not support iOS 15 and unc0ver virtual doesn’t exist).

iOS 15 currently only has Dopamine and Palera1n as supported and recommended jailbreaks. Though if you only need to side load apps, take a look at TrollStore, which lets you side load apps indefinitely, but isn’t a full jailbreak (made by the same dev as Dopamine).

FYI Checkra1n isn’t that old, but there are a lot of jailbreaks that end in “ra1n” :)
