Thanks.
Really don't need that high refresh rate, so I basically don't need AMD
fresync. I reckon from your answer, that I can just use a monitor with AMD
freesync as a 'normal' monitor, i.e. freesync won't work but the monitor as
such will.
Merci
Use "dvdbackup" utility.
Simple as :
dvdbackup --mirror
This will extract the whole DVD to your hard drive. (VIDEO_TS folder)
There shouldn't be any protection left.
Import that folder in handbrake to encode it to x264 for example, or
drag'n'drop the folder in VLC to play it

It's possible the DVD has some form of copy prevention on it. I've seen

You really do not need Freesync: the display will work without it and,
besides a couple of benchmarking tools, only a dozen of proprietary video
games support it. The new AMDGPU DAL driver, which supports that variable

OK, if you're looking at this, please don't worry about what I just posted-
if the bootloader isn't proprietary, it should be possible to just uninstall
the problem firmware and have a free device. I'll look into this as soon as I
can, and (hopefully) that should lead to a much shorter

The UEFI has a screencapture feature and I attached the bitmap image file.

I searched for Kallithea instances and found the following three which have

I don't know who runs them (which shouldn't be too hard to find out), but
they might fit the bill.
