The classic GNOME music player has a plugin that detects iPhones as music devices. You can drag and drop MP3/FLAC files (converted to AAC on the fly) and manage playlists. It’s the most "native feeling" solution.
:
# List connected devices idevice_id -l
sudo idevicerestore -l # List available firmwares sudo idevicerestore -e iPhone_4.7_15.6_Restore.ipsw
Most modern Linux desktop environments (like GNOME or KDE) will automatically recognize an iPhone when plugged in via USB.

When your iPhone is bricked or stuck in a boot loop, Linux offers rescue tools that are actually more powerful than Apple’s native options.
