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.

OP stated that a VM is not feasable because of ressources on the PC.

I'm afraid they have to install Windows again, if work is not able to provide a device for this function. I have not heard of any solution for reliable iTunes functionality on Linux. :(

I very much doubt that is true. Most standard issue system these days should be able to run an emulator well enough to run iTunes.

Sure, just stating what OP mentioned.

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.
