  • Keep at it! The learning curve is not a straight line, just like with any skill. You’ll see fast progress, just to be followed by a long plateau of no progress or even feel you’re getting worse. And then you notice possibly big improvement again. And again.

    Don’t worry about following sheets/chords initially. If chords are not in your muscle memory, you’re basically doing three complex tasks simultaneously, reading, figuring out chords and fingering chords. I’d try to memorize one or two simple pieces first, to get the chords under your belt. Start simple and stay patient, it’ll take time.

    Don’t forget the rhythm. Play on top of recordings. You can be pretty liberal with the harmonics, but if you keep a steady beat it’ll probably still sound good.


  • There’s occasionally something buggy, but the last time I ran Windows there were a lot of bugs too. They’re just abstracted away, which Linux DEs don’t do at all.

    For me, it’s about choosing the bugs that bug me less. If Windows is working better for you, just run Windows. Internet points are not worth much.



  • At this stage I’ll probably just mirror my stuff from GH. I have a feeling they’ll be doing something stupid soon, forcing people to look for alternatives.

    Would be nice to collaborate with others, but getting started is hard when you don’t have enough free time.

    It seems Gitea has basic CI + package registries now, that will be plenty for my needs.
