How to export photos from iPhone to non Mac computers

Had the same issue and wrote a blog article about it. A bit dated but it should still work (Linux):

I use LocalSend to share files between iOS and Linux. I don’t know if it works well for a lot of files. I use the flatpak version on Linux.

If your photos are stored locally, and you're using Windows - you can just plug it in via USB and Windows will recognize it as a camera storage. Your phone will probably prompt you to allow access. Be careful, though, if your photos are stored in iCloud Photo Library - they will be stored locally as smaller versions of themselves, so you won't be getting the originals. If that's the case, use iCloud for Windows and opt in the Photos bit. You can then copy the originals from there. It's slow but it works.

I tried most of these apps, LANdrop was the best so far, and also it reserves the original image with no compression or changing meta data.

Edit: I tried it on all platforms, linux, windows, android, and iOS. You would need both connected to the same lan.

I use owl files to transfer to windows 11 over internal wifi

The kicker is you have to create a local user account lusrmgr.msc

then when you share the folder, give that person full permissions and security as specified here

Linux should be able to port over files over USB, FTP or local lan using apps already mentioned. I think I've previously used Dolphin over USB and FTP (server on iphone) for backups.

AFAICT you should be able to do this with a regular Windows 10 computer.

I previously used IOS phone app photosync Worked OK for me

I would .zip them up and email them as Gmail attachments.
