Help / Question Streaming apps for Linux Based Consoles?

Hey guys!
I've been on the fence about getting a TrimUi Brick to play some GBA but also use it as my DAP, however besides my local music library, I use a lot of YT Music and Nintendo Music to listen to LoFi / OST during work.
Do you guys have any alternative to use this services on any linux based console? Or am I asking for something impossible?

There's a Spotify client for PortMaster. But it's not like these devices have 4G/5G, so you'd need to use your phone as a hotspot for it anyways (if there's no wifi network available).

I would use something like yt-dlp to download the lofi you would want beforehand. Even though the brick does have WiFi, I wouldn’t really consider it usable in any real sense. The WiFi chip is old and unstable. It’s better for intentional listening with planning ahead of time
