From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
And that is simply not true
