I get you. I do something similar. I love physical discs and have a healthy blu ray collection. I tend to buy older or more obscure cult movies that I’m worried may not be readily available on streaming. But I avoid DVDs specifically because of the low resolution. For some movies it just can’t be helped. Very obscure content may even only be available on VHS transfers and I’ll watch those if I’m really interested in the movie or show.

I think my DVD days are mostly done. Even with a decent upscaler (Nvidia Shield) 480p looks terrible on my 4K TV.

I have a lot of 720p movies that I watch on my 4k TV. I’m always surprised at how good they look.

OP has a chip on their shoulder about using Gentoo.

And I’m on a 5a and don’t have unlimited.

Hard disagree on Andor. That’s the best show Disney Plus has created.

Obscure, cult, and foreign genre movies. I like finding films that have been lost to time and I have this probably irrational fear that if I don’t acquire them they’ll disappear and I’ll lose my chance to see them.
