Never done it before.
While not the elegant method, simply emailing it to yourself works.
I usually just email them to myself since its easier than fishing out a lightning cable
Have to revise my comment.
I did not know they had finally fixed iCloud.com.
If you log in there, in your browser, then you have access to all you photos....provided that you upload your photos to iCloud on your phone of course.
Do not know when they fixed it, but it was much needed that is for sure.
There is always a catch. Last time I had someone who needed stuff from an iPhone to a PC, it was a nightmare. It was in iCloud but I could not access it even on iCloud.com. Using a cable was a no go, as iTunes could not see it. In the end we had to whatsapp it to me and then he could get his files.. as they were too large for emailing.I share your suspicion. If it's free and it's from Apple, there is bound to be a catch.

But I was pleasantly surprised yesterday with the fact you could finally access all files, including pictures at iCloud.com. Still does not change the fact, having an iPhone with a normal PC is a nightmare if you want files off the iPhone.
You can dual boot Linux...I do. Funny enough Linux runs better on my 2014 Mac Book Air, than MacOS.. The annoying part is getting access to Linux (or Windows) once it is installed. But I only use my Mac as a mobile browser and not much else as MacOS does pretty much everything worse than Windows or Linux.I had a desktop Mac my sister gave me. It was great, providing you stayed inside the ecosystem. There are even free open-source aps which work on it, thanks I guess to the BSD subsystem.
What finally turned me against it was I wanted to install Linux on it (rather than a generational upgrade of macOS) and it allowed dual booting Windows but not Linux. It would have been so easy for them, but I guess they didn't get a kickback for it. Meh, maybe I'll try again since it makes no difference if I brick it.
Google Drive works.Never done it before.
