Ah, Linux. Forgot about that variable. Interesting to see you didn't have to mess with it much, that used to be a hassle though doable.
Linux gives you a bit more freedom to get around these blocks; so to counter this Netflix and many other streaming providers limit the resolution and bitrate available to Linux clients. Often they won't serve better than 720p to any linix client if I remember right, even with you paying the premium for 4k content.
Some people may be fine with that, others not so much. Louis Rossman made quite a fuss about that a while back.
Rightly so. OS shouldn't matter one bit. If the customer is paying for a service, then that service should be rendered as paid for, or else it should be discounted.
I know I know... One can dream.
