Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

Not sure if you're exaggerating the low resolution, but I haven't noticed quality issues on Amazon. I doubt the stream I'm getting is 4k, but it's certainly better than 720p.

I'm using the flatpak firefox from the fedora install instructions that comes with more codecs, though. It plays a bunch of video that VLC won't render with my current setup and I haven't yet put the effort into getting full codecs outside of Firefox yet, but maybe your system has a similar codec situation and prime video defaults to some old or neglected format that caps out at the res you see.

Or it could be what you think and for some reason my system isn't triggering it. Argh, this future is annoying.

Nope, Not exaggerating. I watched the last episode of Grand Tour at 320p when it released.

maybe they've changed something since then if you're having a better experience now.
