But that's the case with the others, too. I'm not familiar with HBO, Disney and Hulu, but Prime and Netflix don't allow you to watch high-def content on Linux.

Hell, even on Windows with their app, Prime won't let you watch more that HD. For UHD, you need their stick or some other device. [0]

Netflix supports UHD on computers, but only on some browsers, of which Chrome is not one [1].

But, to your point about Peacock, at least they do work on Linux, as in you'll get some sort of image.

I don't know (or care) about "high-def" but I can assure you that Prime and Netflix work just fine on Linux.

That's not really relevant to me. I don't care about UHD, I just care about being able to watch. I'm not that picky.

Peacock, on the other hand, doesn't work at all.
