Not anymore… This was true in 2010 guys. :)
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 !
Gotta check the documentation
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.
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.
Nah I use LFS, I wanna grow the tree and chop the wood too
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
And on the AUR
Just send you a Makefile from us; You can probably make use of it over there. File is MPLv2! Cheers
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.
Sure, but doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it though.
You mean Gentoo or LSF?
Either is fine… more or less…
Guitar hero on Linux
Guitarch, btw.
Missed opportunity: the body in the picture should have been for an arch-top guitar.
Me when I learn Clone Hero on Linux needs increased file limit to run without freezing:
make && make install
Done.
Only five missing dependencies, ten configuration mistakes and three compiler errors to go.
Oooh! Better than usual!
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 💀
Lots of negative scores over there. On the joke community. Way to feed the trolls everyone.
True, people like linux here on lemmy.
Mostly people that can’t or won’t setup anything more complicated than a PS1
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frets_on_Fire
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.
I’ve played Clone Hero on Linux, works great
One of those rare games with an actually good native Linux version
first you’ve gotta compile a planet with an atmosphere for the sound to travel through before even thinking about playing the guitar
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.
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
hopefully they will add binaries into flatpak or something. i hate to compile gui apps
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.
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.
