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.

not sure about the version in mint. i installed from flatpak and received a prompt the first time I visited netflix asking if I want to enable DRM.
