If that were true it would be possible to watch in 4k resolution on Netflix on Linux. But it's not.

Because if "4k on Linux" was doable than "download a 4k rip directly" would shortly follow.

Well, it sure seems to make a market for people who would/does pay for legitimate 4k video in their browser to pirate. I am happy to pay for streaming, but as the quality goes down so does any desire to shell out honest money.

The thing that's breaking me is that I can't even figure out which combination of what I need to get what I want.

I just want to pay the $5 and watch the damn movie/show!

So instead I just ... check out the Roku from the library that has all the services and binge ;)
