Linux

Hello, I am looking for help with drivers for my computer, specifically to enable the DVD drive that comes with it.  It is an old computer that had--past tense--Windows 8.  Windows was giving me nothing but trouble so I replaced Windows 8 with Linux Mink 20.2.

Everything works fine, almost,  and the computer is fast again.  My computer recognizes the DVD drive but that is all, I can not read or play DVDs or CDs.  I suspect I need a driver or a Linux program that will work the drive but I do not know how to figure out either.

I could really use the help and would appreciate any guidance from someone who has answers for me.

Thank you,

 

Mark
