I think about switching from Spotify for a longer time now, but with the recent ICE ads I want to be in solidarity with the people in the US and kick Spotify out.

Now I checked the Quboz app and I am in a test month with Tidal right now - so far Tidal is great on my mobile. However I also need a client for Linux!

I am using spotify-client on Linux Mint and works flawlessly. I know its development is not the main goal of Spotify engineers, but it just works.

Now for Tidal and Quboz it seems to be problematic - only Electron apps without HiFi sound because the chromium engine throttles the quality. How am I supposed to switch from Spotify if I can’t use the alternative on Linux? Any advices/experiences?

    The Spotify app is a “native” app that includes the Chromium Embedded Framework. The actual app that Chromium renders is the exact same web-app that appears in a standalone browser.

    I’m not going to respond to the rest, or anything else you reply with, because you can’t find it within yourself to cough up anything remotely resembling the statement “I was wrong.” Yeah, maybe it doesn’t feel great, but it’s a necessary part of holding conversations.

      Because I wasn’t wrong. You’ve provided nothing that suggests otherwise.
