Well, Windows can install fine from DVDs afaik. I don’t do W11 on it because it got too large for single layer. But I own a bluray drive and blank discs which are cheaper to use as permanent OS install sources than USB drives. The drive also helps if I want to run emulators that can play discs.

At the same time I’m not even sure the disc was the reason the original install bugged. I was just looking through settings to get acquainted then it quit.

I wasn’t aware DVDs were incompatible with Linux. Things being old does not = bad.

Yes. I might at least try Ubuntu on the Linux partition I have before I wipe it. But I did find out StartAllBack is sick for Windows 11 so usability wise it will be fine.

Can they theoretically implement the subsampling mode into Wayland if they wanted to, but they haven’t gotten to it, or is it actually locked out?

Can I ask how you were able to see my post if it doesn’t show in the community page? Also, would you know if the Wayland ycbcr issue will affect all distributions?
