[Linux] Feature parity between Windows and Linux clients AKA Bring Lossless to Linux

[stratomeister]

As Spotify rolls out Lossless, Linux desktop users are left behind. The Linux client hasn't been updated in months, and even then, there are certain other features (such as in-app EQ) that are present in the Windows client that are simply not present in the Linux client.

Furthermore, Windows is notorious for having a lacklustre sound subsystem which hinders Spotify's Lossless bit accuracy according to several content creators (i.e. The Headphone Show's Spotify Lossless has a problem YouTube video) in the audiophile sphere. Hence, I believe bringing the Linux client up-to-speed could offer a better listening experience, enabling true bit-accurate playback and investing in an ever-growing userbase that is often left forgotten by other platforms.
