Linux for iPod? (midwest.social)

I found my 7th gen iPod Touch running 15.8.2. This device is no longer supported by Apple so I can’t Sign in with Apple ID to do anything useful. Any ideas of how I can save this device from becoming e-waste? I was trying to add Delta emulator to use it for roms but no luck.

Any ideas/suggestions?? 🤷🏼‍♀️ TYIA 💜

I highly doubt it on Apple, usually everything but the Macs are really locked down.

Even the macs, but people managed to circumvent those better

They're not very locked down. Even the apple silicon stuff allows other operating systems, apple just doesn't tell how to make them work.

I’ve only installed Linux on one Mac (MacBook Pro 2012) and it was easier than on my Microsoft Surface Go 1 to be honest.

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.
