    Bafflingly (or not because it’s a DRM created issue) the Nvidia Shield is still the most “open” way to watch 4k netflix for anyone that cares about that. I think the highest resolution you can get on Linux or uncertified android devices is 1080p and even that requires jumping through some hoops unless something has changed recently.

    Of course for those inclined, it’s easily solved by cancelling netflix, acquiring your own copies of media (legitimately or not) and running a media server

      Wide Vine is a breeze to install on Arch. I haven’t tried under fedora. But I know that it’s been significantly more difficult under other distributions. But yes 1080p Max I believe. Not that generally any of my subscriptions cover 4K shit I pirate all that.
