From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For some reason you're trying to install it as a system service so I suspect you need to start it with
sudo
and probably do the daemon reload with sudo. Not entirely sure its in the right folder but it might be fine.You can also try
systemctl list-unit
as a way to debug if its getting found by systemd.Fwiw I have spotifyd installed as a user service in
~/.config/systemd/user
that way I can start and stop it withsystemctl --user
instead ofsudo systemctl
. This is important because spotifyd will disconnect and need to be restarted after inactivity.
