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.
