[bug] Desktop app only supports debian based

[tonybenoy]

describe the bug As the desktop app is build it used apt get to install dependencies. This breaks in other distros like Arch or Fedora

to reproduce steps to reproduce the behavior:

Building the desktop app fails as following

cwd /home/user/src/screenpipe/screenpipe-app-tauri/src-tauri
sudo: apt-get: command not found
 95 |   cmake: 'C:\\Program Files\\CMake\\bin',
 96 | }
 97 | 
 98 | /* ########## Linux ########## */
 99 | if (platform == 'linux') {
100 |   // Install APT packages
                     ^
ShellError: Failed with exit code 1
 info: {
  "exitCode": 1,
  "stderr": "sudo: apt-get: command not found\n",
  "stdout": ""
}

      at new ShellError (12:16)
      at new ShellPromise (72:16)
      at BunShell (187:35)
      at module code (/home//user/src/screenpipe/screenpipe-app-tauri/scripts/pre_build.js:100:10)

Bun v1.1.29 (Linux x64)

expected behavior Ideally it should work independent of distro screenshots if applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
