Can I have a quick recap on what I should know about BD ? Is it just not worth it ?

>discover the AACS bullshit
only applies to commercial movie releases and each iteration of the DRM has been cracked within a couple of months of being released; I use makemkv to copy blu ray movies I buy/rent/borrow from my local library

BD backup fag here.
Blu-rays are supported since windows vista sp3.
You're talking about blu-ray movies with drm and shit.
Using blu-rays as backup media is perfectly ok.

>5 BD-R for $5
I bough a 50 BD-R pack for 45$ a month ago.
Can't code, can't install Gentoo. I know you're just memeing, but I wouldn't be able to do it. Also my shitty laptop already runs hot from a few hours of basic browsing, I can't let it on compiling for a few days. I plan to switch my laptop from W10 to Debian in a nearby future (need a backup HDD first) because i already have spontaneous reboots.

I was aware of this when making the OP. If you prefer to call it "the AACS joke", fine.
>learn to open sores
I wasn't aware of FOSS players and burning softwares on Windows when making the OP, literally no article about BD talked about them until I searched "free Blu-ray software for windows". Sorry, I thought it was banned due to licensing.
Any advice on writers (CD/DVD/BD of course) and software then ?

Online, at a market, or in an actual store ?
