Thinking on switching to linux
(lemmy.sdf.org)
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.

iTunes just doesn't work even for really old ones for just to put some music on iPod. Haven't tried with Wine 10 but I don't think that's changed. This is the only reason I keep a Windows VM with an old iTunes in it.
This is exactly why proprietary stuff sucks !
Edit:
But I'm glad you're holding to that old iPod without throwing it away ! 👍
Indeed. I hate it. But gotta keep it around until the device is dead. :/
