   You don't live in the real world if you think Linux doesn't exist in it.   
      
   I also have Linux at home which surprisingly works way better than Windows   
   when it comes to bi-directional file sharing from any device (with any   
   Apple ID registered to it) basically because Linux went to the trouble to   
   write their own Apple drivers and the broken iTunes doesn't run on Linux.   
      
   But anyone who claims that "Files" is the solution, doesn't live in the   
   real world, as someone else has already shown in rather gory detail.   
      
   They're just making excuses for why iOS Apple devices don't interoperate.
