Linux support / installation instructions

[gotjoshua]

Package.json says linux is supported... is that true?

if not, what is needed?
if so, you have installation hints?

I build on Linux. It's a bit complex and requires some minor code changes to fix platform-specific bugs (see my fork here: https://github.com/Pierowheelz/Meisunry - I've just added some pre-built binaries for you as a Release).
Most notably, the base path needs to be adjusted for any code fetching image paths. Also, the 'trash' npm dependency doesn't seem to work, so I've swapped this out with a simple fs.unlink(). I'm sure these could be addressed in a cross-platform compatible way in a proper Pull Request, but I don't have the time right now.

I use electron-forge for the build process. Use their documentation here to install dependencies: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/development/build-instructions-linux

After that, just run: npm i then npm run make. Your build will end up in the /out/make/rpm (or /out/make/deb) folder.

I've noticed the following issues:

• Default directory does not exist (Meisunry defaults to C:/, whic doesn't exist in Linux).
• App Icon does not work.
• Deleting images and copying image paths does not work (hotfix in my fork).
