The AppImage-only Linux build hit users with a no-application-installed error on double-click, because AppImages do not self-register and need chmod plus libfuse2 on newer distros. Add deb and rpm electron-builder targets so Linux users get a native install that lands in the app menu with no manual steps; the deb ships a .desktop entry for exactly that. README hero grid now lists Debian/.deb, Fedora/.rpm, and AppImage alongside the macOS and Windows buttons, and the desktop release notes explain the deb/rpm path plus the AppImage FUSE requirement.

Linux users on the AppImage-only build hit a no-application-installed error on double-click: AppImages do not self-register and need chmod plus libfuse2 on Ubuntu 22.04+/Debian 12. This adds native packages that avoid all of that.
