This will add download links for the Debian and RedHat packages. Since, on Linux, we cannot detect the distribution used by the client, we must give the all options for _any_ Linux client. Rather than having 3 different buttons, the `index.html` page will show a single button, and when the user hovers over that, the user will be presented with a drop-down menu to select between `Generic`, `Debian and derivatives`, and `RedHat and derivatives`. I think this is a better option than redirecting Linux users to the `download.html` page. The PR also adds Debian and RedHat package links to the `download.html` page, as well as a short instruction on how to install the _FlatPak_ package. Finally, the PR adds a link to the more verbose installation instructions on the Forum, as well as a link to the common problems post on the Forum.
