Spicetify VS manjarno

It's because of the way spotify updates their app. Spicetify is needed in general now to make spotify work with rainmeter skins. It's very easy to install :) Here's a link to it with instructions https://github.com/khanhas/Spicetify

Here's the github link. It's basically a mod of the desktop version of Spotify. It allows for extensions written in JavaScript and themes written in CSS (I think).

Spicetify is basically the old version and is now deprecated. It will not work with newer versions of spotify (and I don't think it works all that great with old versions either). Spicetify-cli is the new version, however it is currently in need of an update as well so that it works with the latest version of spotify.

Step 1: Follow PowerShell instructions for spicetify: https://github.com/khanhas/Spicetify

Music: Music Player Daemon (The ALSA of music players!) MOC (Terminal frontend for MPD) ncmpcpp (Anyone who tells you there's a better music player for Linux than this, is a scammer!) kunst (Even blind people need Album Art to listen music ;) Spicetify (Spicey Spotify with pywal!)

Spicetify allows you to use custom UIs. Couldn't use Spotify without it. The new UI is straight up trash.

Oops my bad, got the wrong link

I don't know how much up to date it is, but https://github.com/vizs/manjarno

Almost all distros would run fine on that sort of hardware. If you're coming from Windows, I'd say go for something KDE or Cinnamon-based like Fedora KDE/Cinnamon, openSUSE, Mint Cinnamon, Mageia or Kubuntu. I wouldn't use Manjaro, the people behind it don't seem very trustworthy.

Here are a couple of reasons - The main one, in my opinion is letting their SSL certificates lapse twice - and recommending that users get around it by changing their clocks, which is kind of a nono. There was also a recent scandal about the use of treasury funds

It's not even truly arch based. They maintain their own repo. https://github.com/vizs/manjarno

Manjaro is made by devs that have no clue what they're doing. Delaying packages without checking them is not stable, it's idiotic. They have caused more vulnerabilities than they have solved. Full explanation as to why Manjaro should not be used: https://github.com/vizs/manjarno

Avoid using Manjaro, it's pretty untrustworthy. https://github.com/vizs/manjarno It's much more unstable and prone to problems than Arch or EndeavourOS.

here's a document on why not to choose manjaro. It's outdated but most points are still valid.

No, manjaro LITERALLY isn't arch. https://github.com/vizs/manjarno
