I ditched Windows completely for Linux Mint 18. It works much better.

I just installed a beta vpn client on 18. Easy. The only thing I miss is something as fast as Convert x to Dvd.

I have an ASUS external USB Blu-Ray recorder I didn’t think would work with Linux. Brasero and K3b failed me. After a brief search I found xfburn. Works great and it was in the software manager. You wouldn’t know it could do that from the summary.
I burn my movies as “data” in the mp4 format to use in my Sony Blu-Ray player for my television, so I can’t tell you if it does the conversion to DVD MP2 format.
