Gaming on linux is not that bad today. Look at valve's success with the steamdeck. All past and present issues are because developers were aiming to a different platform, with proprietary tooling.
In meme terms, is like Fender made the guitars for people with different hands. You can't play, but it's their fault.
1Guitar hero on Linux
Guitarch, btw.
85Missed 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
65No, you gotta build everything from the big bang onwards.
19No, that's the recipe for apple pie.
23Also, your rhythm and timings start from the moment of the Big Bang
6you 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

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.
9hopefully 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
43I've played Clone Hero on Linux, works great
34One of those rare games with an actually good native Linux version
1
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.
31This 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.
27make && make install
Done.
26Only five missing dependencies, ten configuration mistakes and three compiler errors to go.
20Oooh! Better than usual!
16
Just google "apt repository for guitar model X" and you'll find out someone has already assembled and packaged yours.
22for Ubuntu 18.04.

Nah I use LFS, I wanna grow the tree and chop the wood too
21this meme was last true 20 years ago
20Clearly this is LFS (Lute From Scratch)
11
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frets_on_Fire
It's been available since 2006, works very well
20These days I'd recommend Clone Hero
20Or 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.
10Aww, I used to play this on my keyboard some 15 years ago. Fun times.
4Damn, 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.

Ngl a diy guitar kit looks like a fun project.
20I'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.
3Ok 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.
1
Not true. Those pieces look like they fit together.
Edit: I bet it even came with human readable instructions.
19Challenge accepted!
I've rebuilt guitars before, don't see any reason I can't built one from scratch with all the proper parts.
15Yeah? Try it with building wheel for wxPython apps for 10 arches.
3Elaboration:
1
I don't even play but I'd love to assemble a guitar.
14Same ! This looks so satisfying !! Hope they have proper manual though... Not an outsourced Polish only image based manual... Uhhhg !
5These 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.
3Gotta check the documentation

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.
5an 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...
5
Not anymore... This was true in 2010 guys. :)
10Not nearly text-based enough
7I just wish someone was making half decent 3rd party hardware to use with Clone Hero thats NOT over $60.
5goodwill or other such type stores is the only option. or a garage sale with an unknowing seller

I love this!
30$ if you assemble it yourself. 60$ if you don't.

Does Rocksmith 2014 remastered work on Linux?
5It barely works on Windows.
That being said I've tried this with with success in the past.
5
I love the API!
Pluck (String1(35)) #35ms
4You mean Gentoo or LSF?
4Either is fine... more or less...
2
Pretty sure the command for this was
sudo rm -rf
4* Some parts are now sanctioned and cannot be distributed at the moment
2Uuu, that's a nice take, I like that.
Too bad it might not be a joke in the future.

I got 9 of those! Analog and windows free ☺️ The sustainiac humbucker on one of them does require a battery chance from time to time though 🎸
1Would this be one of those
chmod ./*.shcommands?
1Nope.
./configure make guitar7
Me when I learn Clone Hero on Linux needs increased file limit to run without freezing:
