I'm looking for an external optical drive/burner that can play 4K blu-ray video discs on a Linux machine, and was hoping for some recommendations.

Preliminary searching is only showing stuff made for Windows and Mac. I'm not really seeing any labeled for Linux.
 
Solution
thats because software bundled with blueray is licensed, and there is no official way to play paid blueray products on linux
VLC media player should be able to play some of your blue rays on linux tho, but you might also get AACS/BD+ certificate errors if your blueray movie is too new
