Clearer Directions for the Linux Version

[deivpaukst]

I would like to ask how to use the Linux version of the app. (I'm running PopOS 21.04) I have installed the .deb package and tried running it both directly (I was greeted with a "There is no application installed for “shared library” files." error) and via terminal from the usr/bin folder but I couldn't see any indicator of it working. Clearer Linux instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind I figured it out:

1. Make sure that you are on the Stable and not Beta Steam version (Settings>Account>Beta participation:)
2. Download the latest release.
3. Install it with Eddy. (By double clicking it.)
4. Install the "Tray Icons: Reloaded" Gnome extension. (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2890/tray-icons-reloaded/)
5. Launch a game.
6. Navigate to the /usr/bin directory, open a terminal window there (in the nautilus file explorer by right clicking on bin and selecting "Open in Terminal").
7. Type in: ./remoteplaywhatever
8. You should see an icon in the top panel that looks like a portal logo. Right click on it.
9. Either invite a friend from there or create an invite link and you're set.
10. Happy playing!

If you want to see it with your other programs make a new text file call it remoteplaywhatever.desktop save it in /home/[YOUR USERNAME]/.local/share/applications and put this into it: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Remote Play Whatever Comment=Synchronize any game over internet. Exec=/usr/bin/remoteplaywhatever Terminal=true Type=Application Categories=Network;FileTransfer;Game;

Step 5 isn't needed, you can run remoteplaywhatever in any directory

@m4dEngi Can you also add something like Arch linux users can use the [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/remoteplaywhatever-bin) (maintained by users) to the readme file?
