Technically HP was founded in 1939 and the DeskJet 540 was last sold around 1996, only 26 years ago. Although, I guess it's still true in terms of life experience unless you're at least a baby boomer.
This explains why the computers at my day job no longer have Webroot. I went to use the secure file shredder that came with Webroot and it was noticeably absent from the context menu. Now I know why.
Try MakeMKV, it's free and rips them to a mkv container(MP4 can't do MP2 video/audio) without re-encoding anything. It's the original DVD in a modern format.
I had a really bad experience with ubuntu as well, one problem was the internet would only work 50% of the time forcing you to reboot. I ended up switching to Manjaro when I got a new PC and it's been pretty reliable besides me occasionally messing something up and having to use the virtual terminal to fix it. If you asked me to tell you the difference between Ubuntu and Manjaro besides the desktop environment and package manager I couldn't tell you, but I would definitely say to go with xfce4 instead of gnome next time.
for me, i ran ubuntu 18.04 off an sd card temporarily on a laptop because the hard drive is dead, it somehow worked fine and didn't screw with me although that could have been pure luck
No. Anti-cheat software is conceptually DRM and therefore the same scam as anti-virus software: It can't work for fundamental reasons, so the deal goes to whoever can put up the most convincing smoke and mirrors. The suckiness for the poor sap whose machine is running it is a feature - "See, it's doing something!"
That's a much worse experience than I've ever had with Ubuntu, though it kinda makes sense.

Funnily I researched around and this piece of shit is to blame and qbittorrent is classed as PuA and removes it w/o confirmation. Fuck you Microsoft, may the Bangladeshi sex spambots overwhelm your support email and forums in the future.
Is this something recent?
I noticed that normal things have been treated like viruses lately. It's annoying when they remove a file from a thing I am trying to download. On this computer alone. It was a hassle to get OpenRCT2 working because the computer kept deleting the files because it's apparently a virus when it really isn't. They even treat genuine games that I bought as viruses. For example removing a file that came with the installation of the game Be-reave Secondary fucking up the whole game. I also remember the software also treating Sayonara o Oshiete as a virus because apparently anything made in 2001 is a virus. I also really hate it when American computers aren't designed to read Japanese letters unless you change the locale settings. That's what made trying to get the game Be-reave Secondary to work as such a pain in the ass as creating a folder for this just reads ??????? and other gibberish. Also, that game Renaissance released in 2001 I noticed the buttons on the top also read gibberish as it gives up trying to read Japanese all together. It also annoys me when I get weird file types which is usually the case when I try to play Innocent Eyes.
