Imagine if someone managed to make software for your phone that could use the camera to read a compact disc. That would be rad as fuck.

I gutted my old defunct laptop to get its CD Drive then bought a cheap convertor on aliexpress. Now it connects to my pc via USB.
You coulda slapped Linux on that bad boy and gotten a few more years of life out of it
Yeah and then just ripped the iso yourself without needing an adapter. Then plop it on a thumb drive or move it across the network.
Thumb drive probably easier than a Linux virgin (as in, inexperienced with Linux...the other type is just redundant) figuring out network shares.

I tried this the other day only to realize I don't have a drive.
