The first problem I noticed was the stick would restart when ever there was an update. No warning. Doesn't matter if you're right in the middle of watching a show. It just restarts.
The other problem is their menus and the way they present all their shows (and apps). It can get really frustrating trying to find something you found a week ago.
And, try using captions when you have the volume turned down so as not to wake sleeping family members; it puts the caption too far up and obscures the part of the show you are trying to watch.
Maybe I'll just go back to using a computer like I used to...
"...If you are running an operating system other than Windows or Mac OS, playback is restricted to standard definition." https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GUVGB3QMQRYRERYW&linkId=71025432
That's nice.
This is after I installed, re-installed, re-installed again different Linux distributions trying to figure out why I couldn't get my 1080p.
Several conversations with Amazon later, they don't care.
Fine.
I can let my subscription expire.
Amazon doesn't seem to care about that either.
So, if I drop Amazon Prime, I could use Hulu for les than $13 a year more.

There is NO mention of Linux, just Mac/Windows/Chrome.
I might still try them since they have a better selection of shows...

I tried another method utilizing a browser extension, but it didn't work either.
I won't be renewing my Amazon Prime subscription...
