[Enhancement] Add prebuilt binaries for Arch Linux and describe the build process for Arch Linux in the README.md #119

Closed erNail closed 1 year ago

The Steam Deck would be the perfect device for the M8 Headless. It's running SteamOS, which is based on Arch Linux.

While possible to build m8c on the Steam Deck, there are some pitfalls with SteamOS which make the process user-unfriendly.

Not related to this, it could anyway be a good idea to support more Linux distros.

Since there are already pre-built binaries for Ubuntu-based Linux distros, we could also provide pre-built binaries for Arch-based Linux distros. This way, the user could simply download the binary and execute m8c.

In addition to this, we should mention that there are pre-built binaries for Ubuntu and Arch Linux available in the README.md.

Also, if people want to build m8c themselves on Arch-based Linux distros, we should add the steps to the README.md.

I will create a Pull Request for this. This pull request would not only close this ticket, but also #116.

Realised that the Ubuntu build works fine on Arch Linux
