Yeah, they do have a forum where you may find better direct download links, but you need to sign up and sign-ups are locked and only unlock once a month or so.
They also have a torrent-specific site but that one also requires an account and is pretty much always locked from what I’ve seen.
I haven’t gone there in a while, but a good few years ago I found cgpersia whoch which had a whole bunch of tutorials and asset packs.
Don’t know if they’re still reliable though.
It does provide you with access to the IoT LTSC or LTSC editions which I believe would still allow you to skip the need to set up a Microsoft account.
I could be wrong on that detail, it’s been a while.
These last two comments seem to point that way:

Unfortunately I can’t use the front ports on the case because the cables for it don’t reach the plug on the motherboard.
Haven’t thought to try OBS, I’ll have to give it a go tomorrow!
I do appreciate the attempt to help me troubleshoot it, even if unsuccessful!
Same as other audio software, “USB Audio Device” for both Output and Input, both are enabled and volume at 75% or higher, capture is enabled on the Input, if Kmix shows audio activity levels then it’s not detecting anything either despite media playing on the Mac Mini
The HD-Audio Generic is the CPU’s (AMD Ryzen 7 9700X) iGPU (ATI R6xx HDMI) audio, when I select it, it shows four S/PDIF items that are disabled and cannot be enabled.
Disabling USB Audio in KDE’s sound settings and enabling HD-Audio Generic gives 8 audio channel that provide no audio whatsoever.
I’m not seeing anything about loopback mixing, but here’s how my alsamixer looks at the moment:
In KDE Plasma’s sound settings, both ports are set correctly, I tried messing around with the profiles but Analog Stereo Duplex seems to be the default and seems to work best.
All settings are pretty much identical compared to before the motherboard upgrade, back when audio loopback worked no problem.
Currently on linux-zen, up to date (6.13.2.zen1-1)
I’ve tried following this guide and the one on Arch’s Wiki to no avail, but I’m sure I could’ve messed something up somewhere somehow.
I think I’ve ruled out the issue being loopback specific, because even trying to use the Line In as intended (eg: joining a Discord call with the Line In set as the microphone), no audio comes through.
The motherboard is pretty recent, recent enough that it seems it doesn’t have Linux compatible drivers for Bluetooth, so I wouldn’t be surprised if my audio issues stemmed from the same problem. That, or the motherboard doing this weird jack-to-usb bridge…
This is gonna sound even stupider, I actually got my cables mixed up and the cable I plugged into the Mac Mini thinking it was the Speakers was actually the other end of the Line In cable so audio was being sent to nowhere.
Plugged the actual Speakers cable in the Mac Mini and audio played find through the Speakers.
Re-arranged the cables back to the previous setup and the issue remains :(
Ohhh very interesting, didn’t think to try THAT.
When I unplug the jack from the Mac Mini, the audio plays out from the Mac Mini’s internal speaker (that I tried).
But when I unplug the speakers from the main PC and plug them into the Mac Mini, nothing plays through the speakers.
Outputs listed on the Mac Mini are: LG ULTRAGEAR (HDMI), External Headphones (Headphone port), and Mac mini Speakers (Built-in).
Default audio device is set to External Headphones (the jack port i’m using that worked perfectly before), unmuted and volume set to 75%, so audio SHOULD play, but it does not.
Edit: really weird that it works fine through Windows though. Audio from the Mac Mini’s plays fine when plugged to the main PC and it’s booted to Windows, but not through Linux and not through the Speakers directly??
QasMixer is listing the same devices as alsamixer. Two Speaker lines: PCM, 0 and PCM, 1 Three Capture lines: Line, Mic, Analog In
All are enabled and unmuted.
Tinkering with it and so far nothing with QasMixer is yielding any results.
Oop yeah I should’ve probably specified that.
Speakers work fine, it’s specifically the Line In that doesn’t seem to work. Motherboard only has two jack ports: Line Out (Speakers, works), and Line In (doesn’t work at all).
Once every couple of days the Speakers audio will cut out for about 5s and come back, but I can live with that (couldn’t seem to find errors logged relating to this).
While having a video playing on the Mac Mini so I’d have a constant source of noise, I tried using arecord and aplay to test if any audio at all was coming in, got nothing. I tried testing the “microphone” in Discord, Discord tells me it’s not getting anything at all (but it does do a brief crackle right when I click “Let’s check” under the mic testing option).
Alright so I tried your solution, and it had a very interesting effect…
Now both boot partitions boot straight to Windows. Entirely skipping systemd-boot and Arch.
On the plus side it does mean that just copying Windows’s bootloader files to Arch’s bootloader partition will boot Windows no problem.
On the downside, my issue remains the same, I can’t get dual boot to work.
Both Windows and Linux (as well as their boot partitions) are on the same drive. I’ve never had problems with my PC automatically recognizing the Linux boot partitions and adding it to the boot list until this PC.
Edit: didn’t work, check new response.
So potentially that solution could work on the same drive with two separate boot partitions like I did earlier then?
Bit of a hacky way to go about it, but if it works it works.
And I guess that would potentially prevent the issue where a Windows update breaks the Linux bootloader from happening as well. Not that this has ever happened to me, but it’s an issue I’ve seen people talk about for years.
I’ll wait a bit longer to see if anyone has any suggestions/fix as to why slapping GRUB/systemd-boot in the same partition as Windows’ bootloader doesn’t seem to work, and if not or if it doesn’t work I’ll go with that.
Thank you!

Weren’t there a few (ex?) employees that came forward shortly after the initial accusations surfaced and confirmed it was true?
I could be misremembering things but I also vaguely recall the initial accusations being backed up with receipts. Wasn’t there an Imgur album with a whole bunch of screenshots of conversations proving the accusations weren’t made up? Or am I confusing two completely different situations together?
I didn’t follow the situation super closely, and moved on and forgot about it until I saw this post.
Edit: looks like i was indeed wrong and confusing two separate situations.
I’m just a few days away from homelessness.
The past few years have been absolutely brutal, and only got significantly worse in recent months. I’m not even talking about the current political climate and all that.
Back in April, I had to have my dog, best friend, and foundation to my mental wellbeing put down as I helplessly watched his epilepsy get worse. His seizures got exponentially worse over the years and getting him a proper treatment to alleviate his symptoms, or even a simple diagnosis, has been an absolute nightmare. His seizures got so bad and so frequent that he ended up getting hurt. I could see the bone stick out of his elbow from the constant friction on the ground. I couldn’t even keep him safe, and in the end I had to make the call to just have him put down because I’d given up after countless attempts to try and get him the care he needed.
The most support I’ve gotten through that entire process were shallow “sorry to hear, I’m doing great on my end”s.
He was the best dog I’d ever met, so full of love and joy despite his circumstances, he meant everything to me, he was all I had.
And now he’s gone. He deserved so much better, he was barely 7.
I’ve been unable to get a job since. My last “job” was driving for Uber because it was the only way I could manage to make any amount of money to keep a roof over our heads while still being able to stay home to try to take care of him when his seizures would flare up. I haven’t driven since his last batch of seizures, not that it’d matter because I wasn’t making enough to stay afloat anyway. Losing most of the money i made over taxes and vehicle maintenance.
I’ve applied, applied, applied, sought help, applied some more, and I either never hear back or get automatically rejected nearly instantly.
This week, I thought things were finally starting to look up when I got an interview for a retail job and it seemed to have gone well, the way the manager was talking made it seem like they were going to hire me, told me to look forward to a call from them within the next couple of days and get going with the onboarding process. The next morning I woke up to an automated email saying my application had been rejected.
I can’t even get a dead-end, minimum wage retail or fast food job.
I’ve been paying rent for the past few months with a credit card, and as of right now, I’m all out of money, I don’t know how I’m going to pay rent next month.
I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m going to try to talk to my landlord about the situation, but I’m not too hopeful. Maybe at best they’ll “let me” break out of my lease without charging me a termination fee. I don’t know.
I’ve kinda just checked out, trying to keep my mind distracted as much as I can before everything eventually catches up to me. I feel so fucking worthless and pathetic.
I’m sorry, it’s probably a lot heavier than what this thread was intended for, it just saw it as I was doomscrolling to keep myself distracted and kinda just threw myself in…
