        I was hopeful I would find a decent bluray drive to rip some movies I have but I cant see anything priced as I would have thought and decent.

        I got a usb dvd one that works fine

          I’ve got an old Dell that has a blu-ray burner built in. Thing is OLD, it’s got a Core i7 processor with a 3 digit model number. But it runs Mint just fine. I beat the hell out of the poor thing ripping my whole DVD collection, and basically it’s my optical media authoring box now. I rarely crank it up but if I truly need optical media made it’s what I turn to.

            Ah thats a great idea! I got an optiplex second hand to try my hand at linux recently. I wonder if it has a bd drive. Its an i7 too.

            I want to take all my media and rip it for sharing with the fam. Over covid I was putting things on my cloud for others to grab but I want to do a full jellyfin build now.

              Mine is an old XPS box, and it’s kind of cool to have because it’s got a lot of obsolete hardware. A PCI slot, external SATA, it might even have Firewire. So it’s a relatively modern box I can run modern software on with old IO.

    I think I’ve actually touched CD/DVD for the last time in 2012/2013… I should be fine

    Well if they could get it to fit on a mini-dvd or a CD then nothing would be lost but I guess pre-UEFI systems are slowly going to be abandoned. (Guess coreboot community needs more funding)
