Frustrating and ironic that Netflix would never support any open source desktops, despite being dependent on and developers of so many open source tools. I would tell me friends how great open source software is and convince them to let me install Linux on their computer, but then they find that open source can't even do something as simple as watch netflix videos. I would have be all aplogetic and mess with wine to install microsoft silverlight (later pipelight...only recently can use the official google chrome binary), but I'm sure that exercise just left them believing that open source is complicated and inferior.

I&#x27;ll be impressed when Netflix finally opens up enough to allow it to work with Kodi without having to jump through mindless Chrome hoops to make Netflix (barely) work with it.<p>Then again, Kodi already works great with pirated movies, maybe I should stop paying Netflix and just use what works minus all the needless hassle?
