I really wish people would stop suggesting Kodi/Linux/Plex/Jellyfin as an alternative to Netflix and the like. These are just fundamentally different services that are not comparable. And Linux is limited to 720p.
What do you mean?
Netflix is limited to 720p on Linux due to the DRM they use… maybe OP was confused because of that?
I mean there is no Linux client for any of these services. You can only run them in a browser. And the browser is limited to 720p.
I wasn't recommending it for that?
I said that it wouldn't be good for streaming apps, like Netflix, and the previous comment was asking about Plex specifically.
...is there something you'd like to add to the conversation?
