so i installed linux and then tried to play back a simple midi file and I had to install like 400 megabytes of dependencies
what kind of sick fucking joke is this? i can install windows 95 which is just a couple megs and double click a midi file and it runs just fine

There's a whole bunch of midi apps under 10 MB on the play store.

Also, literally every operating system can play midi natively. What this thread was really made for was to complain about how full-featured trackers with a suite of other features take up just a few mbs.

Wrong, it's the most used distro in the world.

he was using GNU. Linux has no shell and has nothing to do with his problem.

400 megabytes

You say it like that's a noticeably large amount of data.

Have compassion for the poor fellow. He is a time traveller from the 1990's and his hard disk drive capacity is only 4 gigabytes. I know I would be despondent with the knowledge that MIDI playback required 10% of my storage capacity.
