This PR introduces a complete local installation experience for Linux users along with clearer documentation for building from source.
Changes:
build-and-install-local-linux.sh— builds the application locally and installs it with a launcher iconinstall-local-linux.sh— a full-featured installer that handles dependency checks, venv creation, icon installation, desktop entry registration, and optional autostart setup.gitignoreto exclude Python virtual environments, packaging artifacts, dist folders, and PyInstaller spec filesWhy this matters: Currently, the Linux compile is not working correctly. This change provides a one-command install path and properly integrates the app into the desktop environment (launcher icon + optional autostart).
To those who wonder around earlier, I previously tried using a deb installer, but it failed horribly. The deb file was compiled and packed, but the files were not copied during installation. My guess is that some built-in Ubuntu security is preventing this or i was am doing something wrongly, though I'm not sure. I'll attempt it again later. so In this PR its just advanced version of compile it yourself that also installs and auto start writing tool with OS.
