Everything fails to run on Linux Mint #58

I know I'm not the only one with this issue.. Literally nothing works. ./Bussin.Napture.x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: liblua.so.5.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory appears and install_linux fails too These are not solved?

Having same issue on pop

install_linux also fails because of a missing "lua5.4.pc" file. I installed all possible lua packages for my system but the issue still persists and I cannot find the file it specifies, "lua5.4.pc" anywhere on my system.

This seems to be related to #53

The executable was dynamically built and linked against all dependencies on Manjaro Linux and Linux Mint has different file names for stuff like Lua.
The reason why the install script doesn't work is because Ubuntu 22.04 (Mint's upstream) has an outdated GTK version
A better executable which doesn't have this issue will come in the next release
