Linux users only get SD resolution with Amazon Prime, what about the Linux derivative ChromeOS?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Amazon doesn’t seem to like Linux users very much and delivers only a meagre SD resolution<\/a> to them by default.<\/p>\n

But what about ChromeOS? On the one hand, it is also based on Linux, but on the other hand, it is a “commercial” operating system from Google and, like on an Android tablet, we should get HD resolution here.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this is not the case. At least in our test with ChromeOS Flex<\/a>, we found that video playback here is also limited to SD, as we can see from the amount of data. With HD resolution, a complete film would have between 6 and 7 GB.<\/p>\n

That’s a pity, at least older devices would make a good streaming device for the sofa.<\/p>\n\n
