> 1. Root on Linux is not the same as Admin on Windows. Sorry No need to be sorry, but how so? > 2. They do limit Linux playback to 720p, you can not play 1080p or higher streams on linux largely due not having control over the OS. I didn't know that. Is it done based on OS detection or is it just Netflix neglecting to support? What if I fool Netflix into thinking I'm running windows? Will I be able to play 1080p/4k then?

>No need to be sorry, but how so? With root on linux there is nothing outside of your control, With Admin on Windows there are still all kinds of things outside of your control. Just look at the Telemetry controversy as an example. No way for even an "admin" to disable it >I didn't know that. Is it done based on OS detection or is it just Netflix neglecting to support? In order to play HD Content you much have a OS that refuses to follow the Admin's wishes, instead follows the wishes of the OS Vendor. You much have full stack DRM built into the OS that is not bypassable. Currently the Only OS that support browser based HD Playback from netflix is Windows in the Edge Browser because MS DRM is built into the OS and the Admin of the OS has no control over it.
