this a fantastic tool, thank you. i'll make use of this for some of my other projects!

 

I just found an ocarina at a thrift shop for 10 dollars, and I'm itching to play some fun solos for it. I am not itching to give money to JW Pepper. Is there any way to pirate sheet music? PDFs are ok. TIA!

linux mint comes with flatpak

learn how to use the command line. spend a week or so getting used to doing file operations like moving, copying, extracting, etc on the CLI to get a feel for it.

piracy is encouraged on the fediverse (except for .world cause they're nerds). it's ok to say you pirate your music, say it loud and proud

a small price to pay. thank you so much!

 

i know, i know, i should have a vpn by now. but i really can't justify it, even the cheaper ones. but gog-games.to only carries windows installers (usually it's not too bad to get them working on proton but there is a few cases where i just can't get them to run at all). do you lovely people at /c/piracy know of any places? thank you for reading!

i tried, but i guess they really are just that fucked. i have no idea what i did wrong. this is the last time i try and do something without a guide on linux, i am not smart enough for this lmao

 

i tried to get kde plasma on my fedora, when i booted it up there was just a black screen. i couldn't type any commands either, it was toast

thankfully i've got windows dual booted because i'm a filthy gamer-gulag who uses it for vr games. unfortunately windows doesn't let me see my linux drive's files so all of my personal files are unrecoverable.

thankfully i think the most i had on my computer was my music (yt-dlp is so easy i can get it all back in 30 minutes tops) and a few files from some project i was working on, sucks but not worth spending hours troubleshooting. oh well.

on the bright side, i'm RETVRN-ing to my old reliable, linux mint with xfce. i'll miss hot corner and the other niceties that gnome has but xfce will be a bit more comfortable for me.

what is hyprland

why do ppl use the CLI for things like making and moving files? i find the GUI easier and faster as well as less prone to mistakes

what is wayland and xorg, and why does everyone argue about them

iirc there's a telegram bot that can rip flac's from Spotify

 

Finally back on a gnome distro that supports GRUB2, and loving it so far. The exception being that every time something moves, there is a weird line in the middle of my monitor that almost "splits" the screen in half, like it's off by a pixel or something. this isn't really present in static images though. it's pretty infuriating. when trying to record an example to share with you guys, i noticed it for whatever reason just doesn't even happen while recording my screen with GPUScreenRecorder. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be?btw, this didn't happen on mint when i was using that distro. Thank you!

 

I've heard great things about them but I'm not too willing to part with 50 euros over them. Are lessons ever put on PDFs or videos, or is there a way to keep them fully interactive? Any resource would greatly help. Thank you all!

 

title. i looked at all the steps and just kinda stared at my screen in confusion.

 

if I went to a library or something, and torrent a file, nobody would be able to tell who it was as its a public place and the library couldn't be held accountable. thoughts?

 

I have one drive, 1tb with Pop_OS, and another, 500 on to which i want to install windows. (I know, I dont like it either but I want to play VR games via link cable cause ALVR is really mid) So, I put the ISO on a drive with ventoy, booted it up, got it all going. started to install windows on the empty drive. So, after the five steps it kicks me out of the installer and now, I can't acess the second drive. Even through moving the boot order on BIOS, it always loads me into pop os. The only time it ever didn't do this is one time where it seemingly randomly gave me boot options, two of which were Pop_OS and one was "windows boot manager", which when selected turned off my computer and promptly i booted right back into Pop_OS. Can anyone provide some advice? TIA.

 

Preferably a dongle, but Bluetooth is ok as well. what wireless headphones do you use? thanks for all suggestions!!!

edit: because i wasn't very descriptive, i will append this: i don't really care about the quality too much, i want to spend ~80 usd or so, but that's flexible within 10 dollars or so. i would prefer a headset that has a USB dongle, like a wireless mouse. i don't really need a microphone in it, but i wouldn't really conplain if there was one.

 

I am not a fan of cinnamon and i'd like to try gnome or kde plasma. i have heard great things about both and i tried gnome before, but i really hated how it worked with linux mint (particularly that it replaced the login screen with that of the ubuntu login). is there a way to avoid that? any other general tips? thank you everyone!

 

I can't find a few games I want on gog-games.to, specifically world box. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you! sankara-salute
