I’m looking for a disk drive that works with linux, connects via USB-A, and is compatible with CDs and DVDs (blu-ray would be good but it isn’t necessary). Does anybody have any recomendations?

Yes. Any one from Amazon will work. There are several Blueray ones; I believe I’ve even seen BD writers.
OP might be talking about something they can watch DVDs and Blueray disks on, though; in that case it might be more complex. I don’t know if BD DRM complicates things.
Most dvd’s should be fine as VLC can play almost any of them.
BD is where things get complicated because of DRM, expect almost none of them to work thanks to big corpo telling us what we can and can’t do with something you bought and paid for (sadly enough streaming doesn’t get much better either)
