Apart from the obvious nautical themed solutions, are there any ways around streaming services not allowing HD video playback on Linux? Prime video is the one I’ve noticed it with the most, I haven’t tried Disney plus yet but I’m expecting it to be similar. I’ve been dual booting for a while now and this is the main thing keeping me on Windows at the moment.

Ah ok, I’d heard Netflix had the issue as well but I don’t use it so I couldn’t confirm. Maybe it’s time to reconsider my prime subscription, although I do still use it for 1 day delivery

You’re never going to stream above 720p/1080p on Linux from any service besides YouTube.

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.
