Description
The goal of this PR is to create a working segment that displays the song & artist currently playing on the Spotify application via Linux.
I created a solution to fetch information from the Spotify application on Linux (Ubuntu) by using a bash segment to run a command. Having said this, the command is written directly in the theme file (see gist).
About 2 years ago, I forked oh-my-posh with the intention of converting the command into a proper segment, but never got around to getting it to work. Given my limited experience with go, I figured I should ask for help.
Regarding the solution itself, here is the command that retrieves the Spotify information:
The command shown above has been tested on several Ubuntu machines and has show to work consistently well. However, I am uncertain on the compatibility across other Linux distributions.
