> DVD though, is just objectively terrible quality.

But I can play it on many devices, or it can be format shifted if needed.

I can't play Blu-ray on Linux even if I had a compatible reader.

When you say play, do you mean something else other than reading the disc?

I can't remember if I've tried to play any Blu-ray disc recently, but I know for sure that they can be read. I have a recollection that you might need some software to "mount" the disc so that normal media players can work with the disc.
