Paramount+ won’t play on Linux and Netflix plays at a lower bitrate.
DRM video on Linux will vary service to service. This is because each service sets their own rules for DRM using widevine. One service may require different levels of security than others. Resulting in different results depending on this service.
Unfortunately Linux is not a priority for these services and you’re likely out of luck.

Does edge still provide the best streaming experience on Linux? I haven't streamed anything from my Linux machines in a while but that used to work well for most streaming providers. It coaxed 1080p out of a couple that would only serve 720p to Chrome IIRC.
