also, keep in mind, ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.. so anything at guides such
as http://itsfoss.com/netflix-ubuntu-1404-desktop-app/ will be relevant.
we, as the ubuntu community and ubuntustuduio community dont do anything to
prevent netflix from running on linux or ubuntu, or ubuntustudio. also,
realistically, there is only so much we can do to facilitate its running on
linux/ubuntu. nothing is preventing netflix, or anyone else from running,
or creating whatever they like to run on linux. ubuntu and ubuntustudio are
both completely open, top to bottom, and anyone at anytime can always
create anything they like, and make it work flawlessly for you. until that
time, support for non-native applications and services will always be a
compromise. another handy fact is, PPA's are not officially supported, so,
if you find you need one, be sure to ask the creators/maintainers of the
PPA for support.. cheers! and good luck, and make sure you let netflix know
you would like support for their product in the operating system you are
using..
