• Suggest some local music player for debian based distros

  Gmusicbrowser is pretty good feature-wise. It's very configurable and has many different layouts. It might not look very modern by default, but with a modern gtk theme and some fiddling it looks okay to me at least. Source: over 1 year ago

• Prima: Cross-platform GUI toolkit written in Perl

  Perl actually had a pretty good UI story way back when. Perl/Tk always was well documented and Perl's syntax works quite well with the original Tcl-ish/Shell style. Note that GIT's default GUI parts are written in exactly that. Tk then hit a bit of a limit when it came to common widgets, and so got less popular.

• Camper Touchscreen Audio Setup

  Have a look at the Balena Sound project on Github here and other possible options would be Volumino or RuneAudio - they are not up to professional multi-room sound systems but may give you some of the functionality you want. Source: about 1 year ago

• Very unhappy with Roon. Need another solution.

  Perhaps try Volumio - they have their own products, but if you own a DAC and have a Raspberry Pi you can build your own. Controllable from their app too. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any music servers (like Navidrome) that can ALSO pull from Spotify?

  Volumio? Spotify support, playback of local files, and a web client. I stopped using in in the end because the queuing of the songs was buggy, but if you‘re an album-at-once type of person, this might be a good fit! Source: over 1 year ago

• Best option for wirelessly powering wired ceiling speakers?

  If you want to save some money and like tinkering, you can look at open source alternatives that run on hardware like RPI, here's an example of one - https://volumio.com/en/. Source: over 1 year ago

• MiniPC for music streaming with TEAC UD-505 DAC
