Another big component that makes it hard to switch for some is also the fact that many programs and web apps won’t work on Linux.
As an example , if you use peacock on your browser to watch things like wrestling PLEs, peacock(and other services) straight up block Linux users.
It’s annoying when the product will work but it’s being gatekept by these greedy fucking companies.
Are they somehow able to detect the OS by something other than the user agent headers or have you tried changing your user agent?
I have no idea how they do it. I did try some addons to change my user agent but that doesn’t work. At least it with peacock.
Run a browser on wine, they are likely detecting from widevine itself. Or try this tutorial: https://thebrokenrail.com/2022/12/31/xfinity-stream-on-linux.html
This is likely easily remedied with an extension to tell Peacock you’re on a supported system. Artificial incompatibility.
It doesn’t work. I tried everything. User agent switching, etc.
