Note: Spotify for Linux is a labor of love from our engineers that
wanted to listen to Spotify on their Linux development machines. They
work on it in their spare time and it is currently not a platform
that we actively support. The experience may differ from our other
Spotify Desktop clients, such as Windows and Mac.
