Spotify plays very well with my SONOS wireless speaker system.

You can also use a third party player to access Spotify if you pay premium.

Yes. Clementine music player is quite popular, for example. It seems to have lots of features. Including connecting to streaming sites like Spotify Pro.

On Spotify’s site they specify that with a paid account you get these additional features (which aren’t available in a free account):

• Ad free
• Unlimited skips
• Listen offline
• Play any track
• High quality audio

A yes and I think also to see what your "friends" are listening to

My kids love Spotify. I haven't really spent much time with it.

What's the difference if you pay? Just no ads or is there more?

I'm not sure ,,,,their was a list of the differences on their web site but I cant find the page now .

their was a lot more things in the payed list however I just do not remember what they were .

I used it a lot before. I had 2 years of free spotify with cell phone provider. Back to spotify free now so it's not so hot. A lot of songs are blocked.

there is no magic as to why ubuntu mate has spotify. They just added it to the repos, same way you added it.

Which is good. It makes that distro usable for people who want Spotify, but are not IT nerds. They can get Spotify with one click, and get on with their lives, rather than chase around web forums. Desktop developers and distro makers understand the situation.

If Linux can't do that for them, then they go somewhere else.
Kubuntu has one or two weaknesses. But other distros like Ubuntu Mate and Solus have Spotify ready for a one click install in their software centres. I use all 3. But I want Kubuntu to be as good.

create a an admin user account for yourself on all your family members' Linux PC. Then you can use ssh to login to any one of them and do any maintenance tasks, add or remove remove programs, etc... That's what I do. My family can remain blissful idiots whilst I administer their PCs and keep them up to date from my laptop. I installed Juice SSh on my phone so I can update my mom's PC whenever I visit her, from my android phone.

Thanks. But if you need to be an IT admin to run a Linux computer, then I'd dump Linux. I have no idea about those commands you suggested. Fortunately, they have developed great Desktop Environments where normal people can happily use Linux without having to learn special syntax and legacy methods. And people who aren't computer maintenance experts are not "idiots". They just wisely use software that does exactly what they want with ease to get their stuff done.
