DOC: Update 'Known Limitations' for Linux #538

Open SnoopJ opened 2 years ago

SnoopJ commented 2 years ago

If I understand the changes in 7f03a3d correctly, the README is no longer correct in stating that root is required to use the library.

This PR updates the README to state the need for the invoking user to be in the input group instead.

The user needs to be in groups tty to avoid crashing at all (generating table from dumpkeys)
input for their keystrokes to be registered AND have read/write access to /dev/uinput for typing to work
