From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not netflix no, after one of the price hikes a couple years back i dont subscribe to them anymore. Hulu worked fine if i remember correctly. Hbo works fine for me rn.
While not perfect, pop os does the job.
So when you wanna watch Hulu or HBO, you just open up a web browser, go to the Hulu/HBO site, and play the content in the web browser in full HD? No bullshittery around limiting the playback to 720p in a browser?
For HBO, I dont think so.
And thinking about it now, i was watching Netflix with my GF the other day at my place using her account, didn't look like 480p at least. That said, hard for me to tell since my internet rn is limited and i stream most things at 480p, sometimes 720p if its a good day.
I'm probably not the best barometer for stream quality give my situation. Atm I'm just glad it works.
I'm using firefox with drm content turned on and thats all I've done.
