Connect the iPhone 8 to iTunes in Apple Device Recovery Mode
The Apple iPhone 8 had a non-specific problem to charge and boot. I could boot the phone with modified cables by plugging it into the wall. Now there is a warning that specifies the iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes. That more specific warning is in place because I did carry it away and put it in place.
Anyway, any ideas how to connect the recovery mode to archlinux? How to use iTunes in archlinux?

Re: Connect the iPhone 8 to iTunes in Apple Device Recovery Mode
I don't know if things have changed but back when I worked with Apple ~2004 this required a real itunes application, so on Arch this would be some sort of VM with either MacOS or Windows and then itunes installed. This may have changed so I would check if things have improved but this https://support.apple.com/en-us/118107 suggests not.

Could. Now the device is open.
LIBUSB_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND is the sort of error I have now while using iTunes.
