I had this problem so I just hit the high seas for a much better experience. Then I cancelled my service because clearly they didn't want my business.

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.

No as you can not bypass DRM. DRM is designed to block your control of your machine.
Seriously, DRM is the problem. There's no one benefitting from it except for large corporations who have a stranglehold on content.
Yeah. And even the corporations aren't benefiting. The best Pirates crack that stuff quickly, and the rest of us (not me, obviously, I'm no pirate) just leach off the best Pirates. People trying to give them money are hurt.
Personally what I have seen so far, Netflix and Disney+Hotstar (here a popular OTT platform Hotstar and Disney merged and this is the result) works pretty well and I can watch it HD (never tried 4K because I don'thave any 4K device). It's just Amazon Prime that doesn't just HD playback among all the OTT services I have used so far.
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.
yo ho ho
I haven't noticed since I started exclusively using plex for all of my media except YouTube. Highly recommend.
Synology NAS, Wifi 6 router and Plex have been a fantastic life upgrade for me.
For Netflix there's a browser extension that does it, but I don't know of a solution for other streaming services
