Oh I didn't know you could buy music from Qobuz, is it a better system than bandcamp? I've never used either so Im at the perfect time to find a good one.

Not that im aware of, sorry. There is a Windows based spotidown software, but no Linux. Spotidown is a web based service normally, so you could definitely use it in Linux. I actually downloaded all my music from it using my phone!
I do! I go to concerts and buy merch from the artists I listen to, which gives them exponentially more money than the fractions of a penny Spotify gives them. I've paid for Spotify long enough to justify downloading the music I had saved, any future music I want I'll just purchase from Bandcamp or something similar.
When I got tired of Spotify's shitty practices, I looked into other streaming services that could compare, and honestly I didn't like any other offerings. So I said fuck it, I'll just download everything and play it locally.
What made the jump easy was a service called Spotidown, I even paid for the ad free version it was so convenient. You literally copy the spotify link for songs and playlists and it let's you download it. There's a couple different services like this, that will make the switch easier.
It's an S25, and I bought it mysel lol, I don't to mess it up. My plan is to deal with it for a year, then buy a pixel for cheap and throw Grapheneos on it. If I screw up the pixel I at least have a backup.
Im so glad I finally made the jump to linux. For anyone still on the fence about it, do it. It's so easy to switch, I've been using Kubuntu for a few weeks now and I have had maybe one issue with playing games, and it was solved by changing the Steam compatibility layer version.
When I switched, I installed a fresh (debloated) Windows instance on another SSD just in case. You know how many times I've used it? ONCE, and it was only be cause a buddy wanted me to try a game that had anticheat (I think Rocket League). Other than that I've had no reason to use it. There's a decent replacement for just about every Windows software out there, and if I ever come across a need for software I can't run on Linux, I'll just use the Windows instance for it. Other than that Microsoft can suck it. They're not getting any more of my info.
Now if only I didn't just get a new Android phone, I'd swap over to a de-Googled phone....

Like many in the comments, I left after the API changes. I'm not using their shitty app, and it's so bot infested now it's not even worth it.
The first thing I do when setting up new Windows environments (for work) is to install Notepad++. Fuck Microsoft.
Sounds like the perfect villain that's been following them the whole time.
Well they said "co-worker", I can understand not divulging that in a workplace.
