In response to the difficulty of burning disks on linux, I found a version of Nerolinux and got a license for using it from Nero. The download was still available and it works fine so far burning dual layer dvd disks. I have only recently obtained a bluray burner and do not know if it will burn those yet, but I will try soon. I used the Nero version of burning software because I was familiar with it. I agree it is one of the main complaints I have with using linux OS that I can do these things easier on windows os. This is not a good thing to show new users. Most just want to do the usual things on linux they did on windows but not have to deal with all the stuff that tended to mess up their normal use such as the malware etc. I dont think most of the linux users would mind paying a small fee to use the OS if it would help get things like burning bluray disks resolved. No one wants to do all that work for nothing. Say a $10 fee to use a distro and get all the updates and free software compared to the cheapest version of windows 7 which is useful at all costing about $100 and virtually no free software to use on the OS. Until something like this happens and users can find an easy painless way to migrate to linux it will continue to be hard to convince someone it is in their best interest to do so.
