I broke a hinge myself that way, learned it the hard way
Did you open it without the backplate on?
Anyways this is crappy anti consumer design by the manufacturer.
I also found this, It’s for a RaspberryPi but surely can be adapted:

You can look at the source of the snap and check what it does
I don’t have any experience with your exact question.
But I would look into xinit and try if you can start just mpv.
If this doesn’t work look for a slim WM and configer it that the applications are displayed in fullscreen and launch mpv after the WM.
Probably any of the tiling window managers should work: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Window_manager
I agree, I wouldn’t suggest arch to a newbie either, but OP said he has experience with arch
I daily drive Arch for about 7 years, therefore I’m clearly biased. But I love Arch for the AUR and the ease of getting packages. For me, it is the best OS on desktop to get things done. For other use cases, I would probably choose a different OS, but desktop is Arch all the way.
But you’r mileage may vary.
My grandma has a house, where a part of it was built by the romans

You can use the find
command to do the stuff other commenters have posted recursive
How could you tell it was secure?
I mean it is similar confusing
Just mount it to a fixed location in /etc/fstab
, but use a mount option like nofail
or nobootwait
(quick search showed that this is the option for ubuntu users), so your machine still boots when the drive is not connected
Maybe he is just seeding Linux ISOs on the private trackers
Just use any distro you like and install the packages you need. Done.
