From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I never know spotube, this is first time! WOW!
I think I can start put it into my uncle smartphone.
I do still pay for spotify premium, because their service is awesome. Welp...
It's not a drop in replacement for spotify, of course. It just uses Spotify's public API for fetching playlists and routes them through Youtube to play the audio of music videos hosted there, but as a free option it's one of my faves :).
If you want podcasts or certain spotify-only remixes you'll still need spotify.
Wow it's available for Android too, it's even on the Play Store (which I didn't expect)!
Yup, it's Flutter so it's easy to port to other platforms. There's Mac, Windows and iOS builds too!
