    From what I remember you have to set up some DRM stuff to play Blu-Ray in Linux also.

      I do not believe so. I use MakeMKV but that is not good practice as it is proprietary software. You can play Blurays with VLC but you need the decryption keys.

        VLC literally includes optional DRM circumvention that on most GNU/Linux distributions you need to deliberately install in order to play Blu-rays and DVDs. Thus, the use of illegal tools (illegal in the U.S. at least) is the only way you can play these physical digital media on Linux distributions without DRM software.
