ah this was EXACTLY what I was looking for! thanks!

nope just tried it, desktop app doesn’t work on my distro, can’t delete the account now as the deletion method via the website doesn’t work.

what alternative did you end up going with?

I had a script to convert my main Spotify playlist (5000+ songs) to download from soulseek but…yeah that would take a VERY long time and I really didn’t feel like being a soulseek asshole going that route.

If there was something out there where I can take my spotify playlist and just convert it and use it on another/better platform I’d switch right now.

When I first moved to linux I used Mint for a week and then moved to something else. As always by EVERYONE it was suggested to me as a “starter” distro and I really wish people would stop doing that.

I, like you, had issues with it. Sound issues, Wifi issues, GPU issues, and doing personal research and digging the consensus was always “it’s an issue with Mint.” I was about to go back to Windows 11 cause I was like “none of this linux shit works”

THEN I decided to try a different distro, CachyOS, and suddenly the sound was fixed, the wifi didn’t randomly drop out, and my GPU worked flawlessly. I’ve distro hopped since then and those Mint/Ubuntu issues never came back.

Try something other than Mint. if you still have the issues go back to Windows.

Square themselves. They’ve gone on record god knows how many times stating that Mods are not allowed in the game. full stop. even stating as much in Live streams for upcoming patches/expansions and Q&As. So the community freaking out now is sort of a “really? what did you expect?” type of deal.

so there’s a thing called XIVLauncher which is fanmade and is a MUCH better game launcher than the native one by Square. It downloads patches/installs WAY faster PLUS it has amazing Linux support. With the launcher comes something called Delamud or mod or whatever. this is essentially an in game mod browser allowing you to download mods for the game. You’re right that the majority of mods are UI based stuff or ease of life mods.

That being said there’s also the “other” mods. These mods can change the appearance of your characters model and gear. some VERY NSFW stuff. These mods are local side only so no other player is going to see your cat girl with Triple D tits.

Square has made a stance on mods in the game for years, a VERY known stance to the player base, that mods of any kind are NOT allowed and can result in a ban if you’ve been caught using them. The community has been playing on the edge with this and the fact that they’re mad about it NOW is silly. they KNOW the policy, Square has made it clear to them SEVERAL times, and they’ve chose to ignore it.

well they sure as fuck ain’t killing Hamas. Someone needs to update the wikipedia for this “war” to change it from Israel vs Hamas to Israel vs The Associated Press

Seriously, can’t remember the last time they killed Hamas en masse other than a single “commander” but they sure as hell are good at killing Journalists, blowing up hospitals, and butchering children.
