I am in need of backuping quite a volume of data, so DVD's would feel like old time floppy backup. I was thinking of turning to blu-ray (M-Disc as they advertise long life).
Does anyone know if TDE's k3b can write on Blu-ray, or would I have to install KDE's (or rather some Gnome stuff?). Debian Buster here.

caveat: retired no longer have my workstation:
It has been a few years, I used to back-up my business home directory with Bluray. at the time none of the gui apps in any of the DE's supported bluray, if I am rembering correctly.
I was using the 25GB disks , there is more capacity now. Afaik, you can get "archival" quality BD disks. I created a "file" of my home dir, then burned it to BD, Easy to store.
Some notes left over :
truncate --size=25GB /pub/bluray.udf mkudffs /pub/bluray.udf sudo mount -oloop,rw /pub/mybr.udf /mnt/bluray sudo chown pabi.pabi /mnt/bluray
#growisofs -speed=6 -Z /dev/dvd=/pub/bluray.udf
