I had been waiting for a really long time for that video by the Linux Experiment (really good Linux youtuber) which is also available there: https://tilvids.com/w/bLPmGvqHd69ANdPdhRZXWV .

Sadly, as I’m on Fedora, there are a few differences from Ubuntu (DNF instead of APT) and I can’t use the PPA from the github links ( https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui/releases?page=1 , https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu?tab=readme-ov-file ).

I’m sure it’s easy once you get to the beginning of the video but since I can’t install quickgui and I’m stuck.

It would be really nice if I could get some help as I’m sure it’s fairly easy for someone more knowleadgable than me.

I should just add that I don’t even really know what DNF, APT and PPA are. I just know it’s related to my problem.

Edit: Basically I’m stuck at the part where you have to use the terminal to install quickgui with these lines

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannick-mauray/quickgui sudo apt update sudo apt install quickgui

      I’m on a Mac and I run Linux, and many other operating systems like BeOS/Haiku, Windows 11, OpenSTEP, Mac OS 9…hell I even have a windows 1.0 iso somewhere.

      Fun is fun. Don’t gatekeep fun.

        Yes, correct answer. Unless you are constrained by time and can’t afford “wasting your time” with it… There is no shame in exploring things or going on an (even silly) adventure.

      Because my employer forces me to have an iPhone and I’d want to be able to back it up.

      Also I’d want to learn how to use MacOS a little bit.

      But I ain’t leaving the Linux boat at all😇

        @Dariusmiles2123 Damn, good luck with your employer. Some force their workers to have #fairphone phones to lower their impact, others force to have apple phones to … uh … well, not the same world.

        From what I have seen, running an apple VM is completely feasible but painful and uses pretty much all your memory :/

          My employer is the state of Geneva and I guess someone high up loves iPhone and managed to squeeze that in a budget. They don’t care about the fact it’s expensive as it’s not their money 🙁

          I’d clearly prefer a fairphone but maybe it’s more difficult to run as a fleet and to impose restrictions on what an employee can do.
