Here are some informations about installation in Linux.

You can not use spicetify if spotify is installed as snap package.

The installation of spicetify depends on how spotify is installed: if as .deb file or as flatpak.
As wich package format is spotify installed on your system?
Probably you have to set read/write permissions or run "spicetify backup apply"

I would suggest to use the .deb Version that Spotify offers. Instructions are here:

Ignore the Snap Instructions and use the one's where ''Debian/Ubuntu'' stands. You will add the Spotify Repo with this and then You can install the .deb Version. Additional Info's for this You get from @Forpli's posted Link:
