so it turns out the guide on how to play midi files on linux was incomplete. it seems vlc for ubuntu-like distros doesnt come with fluidsynth built into it, you have to install it yourself. anyway that's been fixed now (edit: it turns out neocities has a comment limit? and i've reached it, so see you tomorrow i guess.)

it sounds like linux mint 22 is having some teething troubles right now which is turning off people switching from windows. dont worry about it, just create an account on the mint forums if youre having problems. the install/boot forum is constantly patroled by experts who will get back to you real fast.
