Late 00s laptops? → I was talking about late 1990s hardware →
The original HDD in that PC had smaller memory capacity than a DVD. Later I bought a 20GB HDD. Fun things.
I'm fighting with getting to run DVD and other video playback on an older desktop computer myself. Anachronistic setup: Pentium D 32bit processor, running latest Debian stable (12, bookworm). No way to get proprietary NVIDIA drivers to work with new kernel and the nouvau driver does not really work (complete system crash when using glx, so VLC crashes the PC as well).
The goal was running latest software on pretty old hardware -- which kinda works well; minus the closed source NVIDIA blob.
yeah, that's a lot of memories! i mean, interactual player was great at the time. i liked the skins provided on the dvd, which vlc doesn't have. looks like they put a lot of time into it. but now it's past. it doesn't work with windows 10, but there are other good dvd players. speaking of old pc's, i liked windows xp. everyone liked windows xp. but now it's out of support and forgotten, but the memories of it we'll never forget. but what if i used it still? "alyssa, why are you using windows xp? it's out of support!"
