I've tried Firefox, Firefox plus user agent switcher, chrome, no ad blocker, clean container..... No love. Anyone know how to use the steam deck for this?

I tried for quite a while to get peacock running on Linux, no luck. They really locked down the DRM stuff. So unless you can emulate an Android system, you're probably out of luck.

What a bunch of crap. You also can't get a refund. I was able to cancel but they don't refund your money.

Nope, they're pretty awful.

Could possibly work in Waydroid, possibly with the widevine drm hack and maybe the one that spoofs user agent to report as a Nexus 5.

I tried spoofing the user agent, made no difference. Maybe with waydroid, but my (albeit limited) experience with that was a giant headache that only ever partially worked.

Not really worth the effort, IMO, especially when every other service works fine.
