Add the Spotify Linux Repository
Not a fan of Snap applications? You can add the official Spotify Linux repository to your system’s list of software sources to install the exact same desktop client in a more traditional manner.
Add the official repo to get automatic updates to new Spotify desktop releases automatically, as and when they’re released.
You can add the Spotify repository to your list of software sources in Ubuntu in two different ways: GUI and CLI.
First, you need to open the Software Sources app:
When the window opens select the ‘Other Software’ tab in Software Sources [1]
Click ‘Add’ [2] and paste the following the entry field of the box that appears:
Click ‘Add Source’ [3] to confirm the change, then close Software Sources.
