I have only done this a few times, but (after ripping the raw data with, I think, ddrescue to make sure I got as perfect a copy as possible given these were rental copies) I found the Handbrake GUI the easiest tool to work with for combining all chapters into a single file, reencoding etc.
I have no experience with Handbrake and wasn't sure if it was possible. MakeMKV was great because a retard could do it.
Handbrake is simple as, just install it. There are heaps of options, of course, so you may want to Bing for 'high quality handbrake settings dvd'

You are correct and this is very helpful as I assume that is where it will be located on Artix. One addition I forgot to mention is that on Arch at least I think you also have to edit
/etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom after you install the package, uncomment your country code then save and exit. Example for U.S :#WIRELESS_REGDOM="FO"
#WIRELESS_REGDOM="BA"
WIRELESS_REGDOM="US"I only buy shit that I can't find via torrent or Usenet indexers.
I just use dd to rip the DVD to an ISO, sometimes after opening it in VLC first to trigger libdvdcss to do its thing. VLC plays the ISO just like a real disc and you get to keep all the menus and extra content. Granted, it's not as space efficient as transcoding to a modern codec.
I've had great luck with the public library for obscure releases that nobody torrents.
Tiny Core Linux. If you want something a little bit more practical, Alpine Linux is a more normal but still ultra lightweight distro. If you can handle something bigger, Linux Mint is almost certainly lightweight enough.
Puppy Linux.
If it can run a web browser without it choking to death, it can run Linux Mint.
Absolute most lightweight? Probably Alpine. I got that running XFCE on a 32bit Pentium 4 laptop with 256MB RAM. I don't recommend it though.
As @August Levasseur says, anything that has the minimum specifications for the original Chromebooks will run modern Linux easy as. I have a pre-64 bit Thinkpad T60 (a model released two decades ago)- not even the highest model CPU wise- which can only use 3gb of memory because of BIOS issues- which will run modern Devuan with XFCE just fine. With only two cores it does start to choke when you use modern web browsers with a lot of tabs on intensive websites, but you can still do a lot.
What the fuck happened to Puppy? I downloaded it just last year because I wanted to fuck with my partitions but only had CDRs to hand (my elderly PC is fucky about USB booting).
Could you burn netboot.xyz to a disk and use that?What the fuck happened to Puppy? I downloaded it just last year because I wanted to fuck with my partitions but only had CDRs to hand (my elderly PC is fucky about USB booting).
Now it seems to be a bunch of Wayland-based ISOs derived from other distributions, and all over 1GB.
Is nothing sacred?
It's new to me, but looks interesting. I'll file that away for a poke in the future.
