Guitar hero on Linux
Guitarch, btw.
Missed opportunity: the body in the picture should have been for an arch-top guitar.
first you’ve gotta compile a planet with an atmosphere for the sound to travel through before even thinking about playing the guitar
No, you gotta build everything from the big bang onwards.
No, that’s the recipe for apple pie.
Also, your rhythm and timings start from the moment of the Big Bang
you joke, but in earlier days (circa 2002) it took my imac g3 5 days to compile the gentoo distro kernel; after day 3 i started to wonder if i was compiling the universe. lol
Well, just goes to show you, never buy a Mac 😂.
You folks are living in the stone age. In the current millennium, plenty of consumer-grade pre-built planets are available.
All you have to do is occasionally spend your weekend debugging incompatibility of gravity and quantum layers.
hopefully they will add binaries into flatpak or something. i hate to compile gui apps
At least you end up with an actual useable instrument at the end and not a plastic toy
Also we are already onto bundling it as a .deb
Great, as soon as you have that working we’ll just make it useless in Ubuntu and rebundle everything plus their mothers in a snap
Classic Canonical.
Don’t forget to remove your specificas to build it from source from your tarballs so snap is forced upon the average pleb.
And on the AUR
Just send you a Makefile from us; You can probably make use of it over there. File is MPLv2! Cheers
Sure, but doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it though.
I’ve played Clone Hero on Linux, works great
One of those rare games with an actually good native Linux version
The hilarity here is that iirc this first showed up on !linuxsucks@lemmy.world , and gained a 3rd of the popularity. At least we see and understand what it is like if you go the Gentoo route.
I didn’t know linux sucks was a thing 💀
Mostly people that can’t or won’t setup anything more complicated than a PS1
How about easy to use distros 🤨
Lots of negative scores over there. On the joke community. Way to feed the trolls everyone.
True, people like linux here on lemmy.
make && make install
Done.
Only five missing dependencies, ten configuration mistakes and three compiler errors to go.
Oooh! Better than usual!
This is far too linear, where are my choices? There must be a fork of this body that is full of switches and got an included amplifier.
Just google “apt repository for guitar model X” and you’ll find out someone has already assembled and packaged yours.
for Ubuntu 18.04.

It’s been available since 2006, works very well
These days I’d recommend Clone Hero
Or yarg which I’ve found runs better on weaker hardware.
Man, I had Frets on Fire loaded with every song imaginable. I loved that shit.
I got Clone Hero recently and I love it, but my time with the ol’ hero games has passed.
Aww, I used to play this on my keyboard some 15 years ago. Fun times.
Damn, I remember installing it in the school’s computer and playing during classes while holding the keyboard just like in the game logo.
Yes, I was the weird kid.
Nah I use LFS, I wanna grow the tree and chop the wood too
this meme was last true 20 years ago
Clearly this is LFS (Lute From Scratch)
Ngl a diy guitar kit looks like a fun project.
I’ve seen them on AliExpress. They likely sound and play like shit but that’s besides the point of the novelty of building your own functional guitar.
I saw a double-neck kit that I’m really considering as a gift for a friend of ours.
Ok now I’m looking for kits. I bought the lowest tier Jackson warrior and you get what you pay for. I should’ve gone higher up the product list.
Not true. Those pieces look like they fit together.
Edit: I bet it even came with human readable instructions.
Challenge accepted!
I’ve rebuilt guitars before, don’t see any reason I can’t built one from scratch with all the proper parts.
Yeah? Try it with building wheel for wxPython apps for 10 arches.
Elaboration:
I don’t even play but I’d love to assemble a guitar.
I do play and I absolutely guarantee any guitar I would try assemble would play so so badly. Setting up a guitar is an exercise in precision engineering with wood.
an exercise in precision engineering with wood
With wood, an hilariously imprecise material (for anyone who doesn’t know). It refuses precision on principle first, and then just on occasion, at every opportunity later.
That delicious (infuriating) imprecision is probably why it can sound so frickin great, though, so…
Same ! This looks so satisfying !! Hope they have proper manual though… Not an outsourced Polish only image based manual… Uhhhg !
These kits do come with step by step manuals, but one of the reasons to get one in the first place is to modify it. It makes sense to figure out what each part does, instead of following a manual.
Gotta check the documentation
