    I’ve run into a similar issue, I built a media PC for my living room which includes a 4K compatible Blu-ray drive. After spending an hour trying to flash it’s BIOS in Linux, realizing Windows would take 2 minutes to do the same task, then finally testing a disk, I find that DRM ruins that. All my 4K disks will not play because it’s a crapshoot if they do play. It will rip them no problem, but not play.

    I could fix this by using Windows, however I don’t want windows on this system, it works quickly and with no annoyances in Linux.

    So now I have to resort back to the PS5 as my player until I figure something out.
