I just did a full wipe of my system to try out Fedora KDE, XFCE & Budgie spins (I finally got fed up with Gnome not being what I wanted anymore after like 15 years of using it as my preferred DE) and didn’t really have the same experience at all - even Fedora XFCE which you say was completely broken was working fine for me. I haven’t run anything other than Fedora in a long time though so I can’t really speak to the out of the box experience on other distros.
I actually use archive.org for a lot of live concert recordings. bands like the Grateful Dead and Phish have been allowing/sort of encouraging fans to record and freely share their concerts for a long time and it’s all just out there to listen to and download as much as you want. there’s also the official streaming services like nugs.net and LivePhish for higher quality professionally recorded concerts, the subscription is kind of pricey but I think the artists get a better cut than on regular streaming services.
other than that I do use Spotify a bit and try to buy stuff on Bandcamp to support the artists when I can.
he really is, saw him in concert earlier this year and he tore the place down
makes sense! I am still figuring out my way around all this fediverse stuff 🙃
weird, that wasn’t coming up at all earlier when I was searching
not a mobile app but Spicetify for desktop might have an extension that does what you’re looking for.
