Spotify is not present in the official CentOS 9 Stream repositories, but it is present in two very popular stores (or repositories) such as Snapcraft and Flathub. Therefore, you will be able to install it on Linux without too much trouble. Spotify is supported on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS and more. So, whatever you’re doing, you’ll always be able to listen to music because it has clients for almost any device. Yes, on Spotify you will find millions of songs and podcast episodes. It has an impressive catalog, and it is very unlikely that you will not find your favorite artists. Spotify is a digital music service that is emerging as the most popular and widely used in the world. Sounds good? Well, today you will learn how to install Spotify on CentOS 9 Stream.

Now, there is Spotify, which is a service where with an account you can listen to many commercial music albums. Restart your computer and Spotify should correctly scale the next time you launch it! Update: sudo update-desktop-database and then launch Spotify from your application launcher.Long gone are the days when we had to buy music albums to listen to our favorite artists.

You can instead copy the desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications/ and make your changes there. Note that these changes will be overridden if Spotify updates. Change the Exec variable to include the above command line option. cd /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/ and edit the file as root with your favorite text editor.

In order to make this change permanent, you can modify the desktop file to send this command line option whenever Spotify is launched via the icon.

So, full command to do this in your terminal emulator is flatpak run -force-device-scale-factor=1.6. I find X=1.6 works the best for me, but this will change depending on your setup.

You can force spotify to scale to your display using the -force-device-scale-factor=X command line option.

Install spotify via flatpak using the instructions on flathub.

Hopefully this tutorial will help someone having the same problem. I found some trouble getting my spotify client to scale correctly to my HiDPI screen after installing it.
