I agree, but the thin client doesn't allow you to view Netflix in 4K (maybe not even 1080p) and I guess Prime video too and others. Unfortunately Microsoft Edge is needed :( ...or is there any news about this? I've settled for a Lenovo M720 (tiny PC) with Windows.
That’s the tradeoff for FOSS, though. Official Netflix apps and Edge are not FOSS, and Netflix in general does not seem willing to let FOSS browsers/apps stream in 4k.
The thing is that OP seems to want FOSS apps but stream from commercial companies, and there is a bit of tension between the two goals.
