Yeah, where I’m from, you either pass things down to family and friends, or resell them, there’s no throwing tech away.

Really depends on where you live. If you’re not in the first world, you don’t just find tech gadgets randomly on the street.
Is it because digital portraits aren’t available in your country? Or because you’re not aware they exist? Because they do, and they’re not as expensive as tablets.

If the movie is 1:29:43 in the theatrical edition and there’s a special edition that adds some time, say, a total of 1:47:13 runtime, you’ll want to ensure that the Latino audio you’re ripping is of the same edition. But the English and dub tracks will always be the same length for the same edition. Generally the Wiki articles of movies/shows have the runtimes. Or the fandom wikis.
Afterwards you can just merge the audio and video tracks into one container file (MKV, MP4, etc.).
I’m using Pop! OS 22.04, I’m happy with it. It’s a good distro for gaming, BUT… lately there have been a lot of issues with the NVIDIA driver, and the Linux 6.16 kernel. I only recommend it if you’re comfortable troubleshooting, using the TTY, and doing other stuff before giving up and deleting your whole drive. 😅

Where I’m from, historically you’d save in USD. But in the last few years, the market has imposed dumb obstacles, like the paper notes being completely unblemished (something that isn’t even a thing in the US, as far as I’m aware). That’s where stablecoins have been useful for the locals.
Edit: This is an explanation, not an endorsement of crypto.
Oh, since you had said “it’s just for displaying photos” I figured you just wanted portraits. 😅
