I've been a fan of UNBEATABLE since it came out. I've been using Osu to chart songs since a few weeks after the game came out, and I've got roughly four dozen charts in various states of completion.

So, I was really excited for the official beatmap editor to come out, and for there to be better support for playing beatmaps in the game.

Then it came out, and I ran into issues.

First thing was the official editor not really working on Linux, even with WINE or Proton. I know some people had success but it just wasn't working for me at all. That's fine, a bit annoying but I can just keep using what I've always used, even if it doesn't have stuff like the camera preview.

Then I got into the policies.

Now to be clear, I fully understand why they went with the policies they did. It makes sense that they'd want to err on the side of caution and try to be on good terms with artists. Except this whitelist method makes it a nightmare to publish charts and make stuff with cool songs.

I have 46 beatmaps I've started making.

I can officially release one of them.

No Underscores, no Femtanyl, no Brian David Gilbert, none of the other artists I've made charts for. None of them have given a response yet. It's been a month

And the charts I've made for Lena Raine or Toby Fox's work? Yeah that's out the window. Explicitly banned.

The whitelist method makes it so much more difficult to make charts, and shrinks the pool needlessly. I personally would've gone for a blacklist method, but I'm not the one making the game. I know that there've been issues occasionally in past with other artists and rhythm games, but it feels like they're being overly cautious here. Plenty of artists have historically been totally fine with their music being charted in rhythm games (Femtanyl is a big one) but because they haven't given explicit permission for unbeatable to have charts with their music, it's not allowed at all.

I just wanted to put this out there because I love the game so much, but ever since the official chart editor has been introduced I've had no interest in making charts for the game, despite how much I love playing them, because of the overly restrictive policies they've implemented for the sake of caution.

I've got a mid-quality mp3 file which I've been working with, but I recently got access to a wav version of the same file, with identical timing but higher quality.

Is there any way to replace the source of the clip so that I'm using the new one? I've done a lot of editing and the difference is noticeable, so it'd be nice if I could just replace A with B wherever I've put it.

I've been using 22.04 for years without issue and I love it. A few months ago I upgraded my desktop to 24.04 and it's been nothing but a headache because of how poorly integrated GNOME is with the Cosmic extensions I've come to love (and no I won't use COSMIC-DE, that's only been a nightmare for me.)

My big issue is I keep needing to use software on my laptop with GLIBC-2.38, and Pop!22 only has GLIBC-2.35. Is there any way to upgrade the "core" of the OS without changing all the installed apps and removing the DE that works perfectly fine? Or do I need to deal with the issues or otherwise swap distros entirely (which would be a headache, but I might have more control if I swapped to Arch or something)

Honestly I just want to keep my existing GNOME setup without the janky version that I have to use on 24.04. Is this possible? Or is it not something that can be done.
