SpotDL is pretty good, takes Spotify playlists/links and downloads from YouTube music including metadata.
I used to use a DrayTek Vigor120 in bridge mode.
Red Hat mid 90s and then Slackware, Red Hat was more polished but I learnt so much more from Slackware.

I don't hate Windows, but I find Linux a much more natural way to use my PC. I started with Linux in 1996 and have been daily driving different distros since 2010 on all my PCs and servers.
Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate how flexible and customizable Linux is. The open-source community is always ready to help, making the experience even better. For personal projects or managing servers, Linux is efficient and reliable, and I’ve grown to depend on it.
On the other hand, I've had to use Windows at various jobs and never found it enjoyable. The constant updates, 'bloatware', and lack of transparency can be frustrating.
While Windows is user-friendly and compatible with many programs, it often feels less intuitive and more restrictive compared to the freedom I have with Linux.
Each time I switch back to Windows, I’m reminded why I prefer Linux for both personal and professional use.
