Probably Knoppix

Why did yall stop? I sitll do. Sometimes i want hard copies or to send media to someone offline or anything like that

I was always told that using a sharpie on burned CD’s - and eventually DVD’s - would ruin them.

I used sharpie on every one I ever burned. Not once did it cause an issue.

I can’t know for sure, but probably a game for Dreamcast. The last CD-R spool I bought has been my office door stopper for years and years now. Verbatim brand, 2/3rd remain of a 50 pack.

It was a Linux ISO. I didn’t care. I was one of those weirdos that used minidisc. I miss minidisc terribly and I do not understand why.

I don’t know about CD, but I did a DVD recently. It was the installation media for OpenShift that the agent based install generates. For some reason the installer ISO that was made could not be booted with Ventoy or if dd’d to a USB drive. It seems to only work if booting from virtual media like Redfish or if you actually burn it to DVD… Honestly, my last CD was probably also some lunux distro in the mid 2000s.

I still have a pack of blanks somewhere. That day is yet to come.

I used to burn Linux ISOs all the time to CDs since they are useful to setup my servers. But annoyingly the new version of Debian, even the specifically labeled “CD” net installer ISO, doesn’t fit on a CD anymore, so last time I had to do it on a DVD and wasn’t that long ago.

I still burn CDS for my player in my truck. Plays mp3 cds so I dont have to haul a large CD case around

Many years ago.

I honestly miss that part of my life dearly. Wish I appreciated it more when I had the chance.

My last CD was for windows xp for an old pentium 4 computer, my last DVD was open suse because I wanted to try it on the same pc. There’s an 8 year difference between this 2 events. I still have 2 blank DVDs that I’m saving for a gift

never burned a cd in my life

I burned a Blu-ray like 2 weeks ago. I also routinely burn CDs because my relatively new car still has a player built in (though I think in the last 3 years, Subaru got rid of it on newer models)

Probably Ubuntu 20.04 before I figured out how to use USB sticks.

And you never knew it was the last time… that’s the weird part.
