Well.. I just installed Antergos on my laptop, and I'm already getting frustrated just installing Spotify.

Might go to something else, I just want to use my computer, why must it be so difficult to listen to music

    This is why Linux is not ready for prime time. Even techies have challenges; can you imagine a non-techie trying to middle through setting up things that should be simple to accomplish? Don't get me wrong; I love Linux, and have been using it for 25+ years, but it is still a rough diamond.

    Try installing "Clementine" music player!
    You can login to Spotify, search too!
    "++" if this helps

    Installing Spotify (albeit on a real Arch Linux installation) was literally just to install the AUR-package for me.
    What is your problem, perhaps I can help?

    @iAmNaN ubuntu is fine. The only thing you might need to teach ppl there is how to google and sudo apt-get install.
    Ubuntu even has better support for wacom tablets than windows.

    If you want to get started with Linux try Ubuntu. It's easiest. Once you feel comfortable you can try others.
    Arch is very... unfriendly at first also not everything is supported

    @hasu antergos is arch+gnome so it is friendly enough
    apt install is replaced by pacman -S
    Or youart -S that it!
    More over if you know the name of software you can you GUI to install
    (For youart usage you have to enable aur in preferences)

    @hasu the overwhelming majority of people out there don't want to sudo apt get anything, and if you try to explain sudo, their eyes will glaze over and they won't hear a single word you say.

    @ullebe1 basically told me that some dependencies' signatures could not be verified.

    @hasu I've been using Linux for a long while now, and Ubuntu/derivatives for the majority of that time, so I want to try something new. Thanks though!

    I might install opensuse instead, not sure

    @DavidINC As in PGP-signatures? I've experienced that some times perhaps I'd already importet the keys when I installed Spotify.
