- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

Meanwhile me with a CD book that has 17 bootable DVDs and CDs plus a separate DVD+RW for more random, less permanent crap and a portable USB DVD drive (the drive is sourced from e-waste and fails to write both DVD+/-RW and CD-RW at 4x, only 2.4x and 10x respectively work).
I like spinny media.
I mean, I also have a Ventoy disk, but I haven't used it for a looooong time because it's no fun, but discs are.
I just need a bigger backpack. The WRT54GL is taking up quite some space too.
Much cooler than ventoy, no?
You have all that up your ass!? ( ; ๏พะ๏พ)
I mean, they have a hole in the middle, so if I stack them they let stuff pass.
I- I didn't think of that...
Disks are fun, lol are you a masochist?
I bet you never heard its cool sound.
brrrrRRRRR PS PS bRRR PS PS, PS PS, zzzzZZZZZMMMMMMMMM
best thing ever
Not to mention iso booting from a disc....just works. Too many times I've tried booting various USB images only to have it fail for unknown reasons, the host machine has this weird quirk of not able to boot from a 3.0 port or...idk
Oh boy, you haven't met some Dell Optiplexes.
That shit, for whatever reason, can't boot from internal DVD drive. I tried with 2 of them. Both had functional drives, I tried disabling secure boot, enabling legacy boot and some other settings which seemed related, but nothing worked. Then for shits and giggles I tried a USB DVD drive and that worked just fine.
As someone who loves collecting/hoarding things, major jealous.
I used to have hundreds of movies, games and a couple linux distros on DVDs and CDs.
I threw everything out years ago. It was cumbersome and it sucked. It was a waste of time.
