I’ve been using Linux for a couple of years now, but only used Debian and Ubuntu based distro’s until this week, right now I just finished installing EndeavourOs and was getting everything I use but when I got to install Spotify I found two options with pacman: spotifyd and spotify-launcher.

That made me look up the Archlinux wiki and found not only what those where, but also a lot more of options of which two more got my atention: Psst and ncspot.

So here I’m looking for opinions: overall which of these four options is the most “stable”? I guess that Spotify-launcher should be the best option (though I have not idea if it’s true) but I’ve read that spotifyd was lighter, and both Psst and ncspot interest (if only because I’m interested in learning Rust).
