You could try using bindfs to spoof the original user id and then chown the whole drive after successfull mounting (i’m a noob, just my understanding of the issue, don’t know if that’s really possible)

Does the backside of a traffic light even count? What about these strange traffic lights that have more boarder than light?

No, bluray is 1080p (or 2160p if UHD Bluray) while DVDs are 576p-720p (what looks really shitty on a 4K TV). I only buy BDs and UHD BDs these days

Unfortunately the court wasn’t that strict in it’s most recent decision regarding data retention (different lead judge combined with the endless tries from the politics)

The good thing about Linux is, it’s not very ressouce demanding. If you pick the xfce version of Mint, you can get away with 4GB of RAM. But you won’t have that much fun coding as soon as you start something more ressource heavy (big data sets, ML, …) so this depends a little in which direction you want to go. However see if you can find something used, preferably something you can open from the back side to upgrade components like SSD and RAM (cheaper than buying higher specs)

I’d love that becoming a thing. TV OSs are always so shitty, I bet dedicated open source work would do wonders
