So 720p streaming and a lot of maintenance.
I so very much want to ditch closed source but then i'm limited to piracy really, and any setup really requires hours of maintenance here and there at minimum.
Hours? Running Fedora and enabling DRM on Firefox ain't that complex, neither is installing the waydroid flatpak. I think you're really blowing the situation out of proportion. Assuming you already have the iso probably like 30 minutes to get set up including a full install.
Video frontends like GrayJay and Revanced let you pick streaming resolution and it actually gets followed. Plus they work for multiple services like Youtube, Patreon, Nebula.
If you're not happy about getting 720p from Netflix in a browser, that's from Netflix being cunts. You're better off voting with your wallet and dropping them.
Also, maintenance? It's minimal. You get an update popup in the video frontend maybe once per week and wait 30 seconds after hitting "yes". And you can add an extension on Deckyloader to autoupdate all of your software in the background each day without needing to do anything
