I'm an android guy and my partner is iPhone, she isn't very tech literate and has an old iPad.

I don't want to connect the older iPad to my network but I'd like to get some MP4 videos on it of learning and Nursary rhymes for my daughter when on a car journey.

I've plugged it in but I can't seem to drag and drop. I use Linux so not sure iTunes is an option, thank you.

Are there any tricks?

I use Linux and my iPhone shows up in GNOME’s file explorer. I’m able to drag and drop files into apps. (They appear like directories.)

I can’t tell you what needs to be installed, since it worked out of the box on Ubuntu, but check your package manager for “iOS” or “iPhone”.
