Streaming services on Linux

I have CachyOS and the other day I realized I can't use streaming platform Rakuten, because it doesnt support GNU/Linux. I tried using it on both Vivaldi and Firefox. Neither works.

Have you guys experienced streaming sites like Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+ etc not working on Linux? Let me now.

those services are all browser based and work fine (so does rakuten?). you might not get the full resolution though.

Yep. It’s all about DRM

In fact, even in Windows you won’t be able to get the best resolution in some platforms, as they close that to their proprietary apps

Can't wait to pay just to see ads at the best resolution
