Add support for Ubuntu hirsute #8

Ignore now-deleted last. Wrong repo.

To clarify: where "official" Ubuntu support is concerned - "official" as in, I tested this before I shipped it - I've had an unofficial policy of supporting those releases (thus far just the LTS releases) that show up in the Microsoft Store thus far on the grounds that I have only so much time to spend testing releases I don't use, in-between release users who know what they're doing can tweak the sources.list file themselves, and by doing so they confirm that this is not-tested-on-their-release.

Is there a particular reason for hirsute to be an exception to this?

That is exactly what I did.

It would be easier to install. I don't think anything in hirsuite changed that breaks genie.

Any updates here? I'm getting the same issue, no Release file found for hirsute.

Change hirsuite to focal in your sources.list.

Yeah, on thinking about it, I'm only going to officially support the most recent two Ubuntu LTS distributions. I don't have time to test against all of the various others as well as the Debian distros.

This is not, of course, to say that genie or any other package here won't work on hirsute or any other in-between Ubuntu distribution or other Debian derivative; merely that not having tested it myself, I'm not going to advertise that it does by shipping a package entailed to that distribution.

Requiring the manual change of the sources.list reminds people of that.

(I'll be adding a clarifying note to this effect to the documentation.)

Thanks, seems to work!
