MakeMKV Blu-Ray limitations

Please confirm or correct me:

From what I believe to understand at this stage, even if the official version of MakeMKV is installed correctly on Linux Mint 22, it is no guarantee that it will play a Blu-Ray disc, unless the Volume ID and the decryption key for that specific disc are provided in the AACS.

I have no experience with Linux Mint 22 (or any other version), but in general MakeMKV should be able to decrypt just about any normal blu-ray or DVD. It is with 4K UHDs that things get more complicated.

Yes, but 'should be' is no guarantee.
