Point taken, guess I remembered it wrong. But if you take a look at the arch wiki, they say that your mentioned client is actually not official.
This article is mainly about the semi-official, proprietary Spotify for Linux client, which is developed by Spotify's engineers in their spare time and not actively supported by Spotify.
You're missing the point I'm trying to make. He's stating his opinion, which his absolutely valid for him, but concludes that in general it's not worth it and that it is not good. The only thing I did was mark his opinions, also mark my opinions, but conclude that in the general case there's no better option. I only wanted to draw attention to this style of rhetoric which I don't like as a discussion culture.
Btw I also don't like the ad homimen argument e.g. "stupidest comment I've seen" etc. That's not how a respectful discussion should be.
I'm not arguing against his personal opinions, I'm arguing against his conclusion that tidal is not worth it (for everyone,because that is how it is worded).
How is it of your concern how I spend my time?
I'm talking in the context of streaming services here...
Maybe you're right with the Linux client part, but I don't know any other streaming service that does provide one? At least Spotify and Apple Music don't. Does it make them also not worth it? I would disagree.
I never said tidal is the best app to support artists. In that regard there is a better option, just give them your money for free. I meant as a streaming service, quality wise and in terms of paying artists, there are no better options.
What I didn't like about your OP was the fact that you laid your personal opinions out and then concluded that tidal is not worth it. Doesn't make me a shill when I answer with counterpoints.
Interesting. For me, none of any recommendation algorithm worked decently well for me. I find new bands via following other bands (on Instagram, sadly), look at what they listen to, what bands they hang/tour/do concerts with or by asking other punks or by checking other communities.
Not saying it's not a valid point against tidal overall. I would also enjoy me a linux native client. However I don't see why this is a valid point against tidal and for apple music.
Having said that. I found a bug in their windows client and the devs are very much receptive for feedback. Maybe in the future when more people use Linux they'll come around and make one. Or the community will with tidal's open source SDK.
What do you mean? I'm interested in his opinion and he wrote it like it was an absolute fact. Poor way to start a discussion imo.
I tried to set this up recently but failed. I wish there was a up to date noob friendly guide for this. IIRC some containers, mongodb was one of them, didn't go healthy.
