This is great to see. I ended up moving to Tidal from Spotify, and even though there are some nice to have features missing from Tidal (an equivilant to spotify's sync between devices/speakers as well as a better Android Auto experience), it's a far superior experience.
Quobuz is also on my radar, but they've traditionally lacked in the music catalog space. I need to give them a try again now that it's been a few years.
That said, Tidal barely has Linux clients and I don't think I've seen much movement for Quobuz on Linux, unless I've just missed it.
What's wrong with just using tidal in a browser? Zen just added a media player widget too so it's almost like having a native app that's always controllable on screen
I'd rather have it in my desktop workspace than nested in a web browser, plus it can integrate better with native media API's for media buttons, notifications, and other items being aware of the audio, which the tidal web app doesn't do out of the box.
Tidal won't play lossless in a browser, Qobuz does it with no issue and I am enjoying the new Zen widget with it.
