Can we use the info from Ubuntu here as is applied to Google Chome to start auto-updating Linux

let's get cohesive updates across all three OS

@7h3v01c3 we use electron-builder for packages & auto-updates. Electron-builder doesn't support .deb packages (AppImage) for auto updates. https://www.electron.build/auto-update

We don't support AppImage for now.

Ok so let's push a popup notification to Linux users instead explaining there is an update and ask them if they would like to shut down and go to the website to download the latest version.

Please review moving from .deb package to appimage

this will also make it portable across all systems of linux without needing any package updates
