I’ve only been waiting for this since the day I first purchased a netflix account… The performance wasn’t so great for me… but after shrinking the window and disabling the useless “HD”, it was watchable… Not as fast as the iPhone, could be related to the fact that I’m using the built in Free drivers and a 2d desktop.
Yesterday, developer and programmer extraordinaire Erich Hoover and I spent several hours working out all of the Netflix Desktop kinks. Most users will have no problems with installation now.
Here is how to install the Netflix Desktop App on Ubuntu. Open a terminal and run these commands:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
