For that sort of integration I would use KDE Connect[1]. It works great between my phone and laptop. I can send the clipboard, files, notifications, media controls, etc between the devices. It has a MacOS version but it currently only has nightly builds (potentially a downside).

It works great with iOS and linux desktop (in fact even better than the original sometimes). Thanks!

Just get a flash drive with a linux iso from elsewhere and boot directly into it.
