I'm diving into emulating some classic PS1 and PS2 games and I'm looking for ways to rip those old game discs on Linux. ImgBurn is a great option on Windows, but I'm not comfortable using Wine or Bottles for that. I've used HandBrake and MakeMKV for videos and Asunder for music, but I'm struggling to find a good native Linux solution for creating ISOs from CDs and DVDs. Any suggestions?

HandBrake tends to struggle with DVDs sometimes, so I usually run `dvdbackup` before using it and it works much better for me!
Have you tried Brasero or K3b? They are popular tools for burning and ripping on Linux.
You can use the command `dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image.iso` to create an ISO of any data CD. It's pretty straightforward and works well for that purpose!
Great! But what if I want to rip multi-track audio with a hidden data track?
Gnome Disks is another option you might want to check out. It's user-friendly and can help with that.
You could also consider asking for advice on Zophar's Domain forum. They might have some great suggestions for you! Just remember, it's .net, not .com.
Thanks for the tip! Is there a way to show progress while it's running? I couldn't find anything in the man page.
