I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, technology, and several other subjects.

    Why are you creating a system service for a user application? It will run Spotify as root unless you override the user. Did you know you can add your own services for your user at ~/.config/systemd/user/?

    Anyway, your method to add the service seems correct (create a file and reload the daemon), so I suspect it might refuse to load the file due to a syntax error in the service. Also perhaps compare the file permissions with the other files in the systemd folder.
