The PC does not recognize my iPad after I connect them by data line

My devices:


PC: ThunderBot

PC OS: OpenSUSE Leap 15


iPad: Air, 4 generation

iOS in iPad: iOS 15.3.1


After I connect two devices by usb data line, two devices have no any response.


But if I connect my iPhone to the PC, the iPhone can be recognized.


My iPhone: XR, iOS: 14.3


Can any one help, thanks

Your computer must run Windows 10 or later and have the latest iTunes app installed (PC), OR macOS and run (depending on the macOS version installed on it) iTunes or Finder apps (Mac), in order to connect your iPad over USB.

No Linux nor Google Chromebook versions can be used.
