a note: for burning BDXL discs on Linux, i’ve seen conflicting reports about K3b, some say it works, others say it doesn’t… if someone has had any luck burning BDXL discs on Linux, i’d love to know what setup you used!

Thus is a super cool project, but just a warning: most burned discs have a lifespan and begin to deteriorate over time as a result of having the ability to be chemically modified by light. If you’re looking to make long-term backups, you need to get special, more expensive, blanks intended for archival that last longer.
- So… bootlegging?
- Why? How many people even still have DVD drives, let alone blu-ray? Especially when USB sticks are dirt cheap if you really want portable media to give to someone else.

- because lets face it, a project like this is more to be cool than to be useful, so why not use discs? of course flash storage is more practical, but it’s way less durable and it doesn’t have the same vibe as a disc (so to say). like if you wanted the optimal practical strategy, you’d just get an external drive and put all the installers on there. there’s a reason most people who make “physical collections for their PC libraries” don’t even bother with discs, they just make the cases
