Linux is unlikely to have anything close to this. AIUI Protected Audio Path is a licensing requirement - AIUI no Linux Blu-ray player app is in the public domain yet (though this doesn't mean that Blu-ray player hardware doesn't use Linux) Similarly AIUI there isn't a Mac OS BD player app either yet.

Currently - on a PC - it is Windows or nothing.

(Ignoring illicit remastering of discs etc.)
