Still want to install it on your Ubuntu desktop or derivative, follow the steps below. It may also be possible to convert the Debian package to RPM, but then again why all that hassle for an app that is not really under development. So unless you’re using Debian, Ubuntu or any of their derivatives, you are out of luck. It is only available as a Debian package with no RPM version provide. So the missing tray icon and lack of app menu are probably never coming. So unless a feature added to other desktop clients (Mac and Ubuntu) happen to work on Linux, it will not be added. There is no one working on Linux specific features. Even though the app will be receiving updates, only some of the bugs are going to be tackled, and even if there is going to be a fix, there’s no knowing when it will be available.
There is no plans to fix all the bugs that have been associated with the Linux client. A revelation was made in March 2016 that there have been no developers working on the Linux client for the 5 previous months. Yup, and it hasn’t been for over a year now. The Spotify client for Linux is no longer in active development. The Linux client is described as follows on Spotify’s website: “This version is unsupported.” So what has happened is that the Linux client was developed in the spare time of some interested developers, and it has relied on the goodwill of these developers to provide, support, and update the Linux desktop client. The official Spotify client is available but there are few issues that you must know before you install it. Command line option – snap install spotify
