When it comes to music streaming, it’s a little simplistic to state only their COO, also important to note how much each service pays out to the artists (many of whom are European). Tidal is originally Norwegian but due to financial difficulties now has majority ownership by Block Inc. its true, but it also has one of the highest per stream payouts to artists.

Qobuz does too, and that’s a French company.

Ofc music streaming in general is never going to compensate artists as much as buying a CD/Vinyl/Tape or going to a concert.

Tidal is also the only streaming service that has a (albeit unofficial) HiFi linux client. At that point I don't care about whatever others offer, it's the only one that provides the service I seek.

Pre submit edit: I searched if Qobuz had a hifi compatible unnoficial linux client and it apparently does (or you can WINE it without damages to the sound quality). I might swap to go full european...

Uuuuh, on the AUR, there is a spotify client that works very well and is maintained by Spotify engineers in their spare time

Spotify doesn't offer a HiFi service at all though...

Oh yeah true. I kinda ignored the "HiFi" part lol.
