ive tried that and its great but they always have some sort of block that prevents you from downloading/copying dvds, and they only have so much and what if i want something like a video game or software, what do i do?
The power of Linux
is there a Linux distro you suggest?
If your only use case is to rip CDs or whatever, any USB with more than a couple GB can act as a live disk, which basically lets you boot directly into linux from the USB. Installed packages don't persist so maybe you can do some research to find a distro that has what you need built in. I'm 99% one exists that suits exactly your needs. I've literally just spent the last week installing and trying out different distros and Linux Mint is the best for set it and forget style linux.
Mint Linux, Ubuntu based, but works with flatpack instead of snapd, and doesn't have tracking blah blahs by default. Extremely popular as well, so well supported.
The one everyone says is best for gaming is Arch, but if you have trouble assembling an IKEA desk, stay away for now.
Don't know jack about Linux, but people here often mention Ubuntu, apparently it's easy for peeps new to linux, though not the best for gaming. Forget what distro specializes in that one.
Jeff Geerling has a great video on Blu-Ray ripping using MakeMKV.
It’s trivial to get around these blocks. Handbrake will do most of the work for you. Start there.
Video game piracy is a lot harder. Even with older systems, you need to be comfortable with command line apps and a lot of trial and error. Start with the physical discs and go from there.
Don't use DVD decrypter because it might infringe on copyright.
I’ve never been blocked using Handbreak.
