This makes me wonder how many Lemmy users have optical drives. I do.
There are dozens of us.
I got a Blu-ray player just because I had an extra 5.25" bay. Flashed the open source firmware for it so I can rip and burn Blu-ray with it.
That was a year ago; I've never used it once
oh yea! me too!
I have one, but I don't use it for anything.
I has one in my old rig. Decided to replay Gothic, so I got out the disks to try installing it, which failed and I ended up buying it on GOG for 2,50€ instead.
I decided not to have an optical drive in my current machine.
I have a blu-ray drive in my PC, it's so old that it can also do Lightscribe.
Do external ones count?
My laptop has! (I ~don't use a desktop)
I do :)
I have an (unplugged) blu-ray drive in my tower… but only because my case is old enough that tracking down the right blanking plate is a pain.
I have one in a USB enclosure in my parts box, I get it out every 5-10y when I need to read a disc
I have an external Blu-ray drive which was quite the adventure to get working correctly on dosbox.
