Are there any minimal command line tools to burn files to a CD/DVD?
The only recommendations I could find were only large GUI apps like "Brasero" or "K3B" or outdated terminal applications like "cdw" or "burn".
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I hope it's useful. I followed the steps described except that I used xfburn to burn the iso to dvd.

I used to use cdrecord but evidently it has been replaced. You generally need to make an iso image first
Check out the packages
cdrtools
dvd+rw-tools
Indeed it's basically only growisofs that's left as a current tool for optical media writing (and libdvdcss for reading proprietary volumes but you still have to mount it like any iso9960 image), bit of a shame really but what can you do...
Where are those cheap blu ray rw discs to make optical media relevant again? :)
I have 3 terabyte thumbdrives and two more in my camera.
My entire life now sits on a flash disk. Take 5 thumb drive and turn them into a raid 5.
Hi,
i can offer xorriso, out of source package libisoburn. See
https://packages.artixlinux.org/details/libisoburn
A more detailed description with command examples is at the web page of
the standalone GNU version which incorporates copies of libisoburn,
libisofs, and libburn:

Support mailing list address is
bug-xorriso at gnu.org

xorriso provides a basic cdrecord emulation under the name xorrecord:

xorriso can do ISO 9660 production and burning in a single run.
See example "Create new ISO-9660 filesystem image, ..." on the GNU xorriso
web page.

There is libburn which serves under Xfburn, xorriso, and optionally
under Brasero.

Well, last time i bought BD-RE for ~ 0.80 EUR per piece they where cheaper
than DVD+RW (~1.10 EUR).
Have a nice day :)
