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.

You can rip and store Blu-rays without DRM without Libredrive, just not UHD Blu-ray's unless the drive is on an old unpatched firmware. I have one such drive.
To burn a playable Blu-Ray movie you need the dump from MakeMKV and ImgBurn running in Wine. Blu-ray movies require UDF 2.50 I think. You can then create an .iso that can be burned to a disc using K3b or Brasero or whatever.
I'm happy to answer any questions as I have quite a bit of experience with this.
