[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1078327, member: 176362"] Linux is still unsuitable for day to day use. Ive been trying to get mint 19.2 to run dvds on an variety of old old laptop for one of the departments at work. What a complete and utter pita it is Wont run dvds without installing extra stuff - then when it does load it the dvd STILL wont work. Even the old fallback of installing vlc doesnt work properly although with much faffing around I finally got it to at least read the dvd menus. Although it wouldnt go any further. If you cant even get an os to play a simple Clangers dvd its got no hope. [/QUOTE]
