Ideas for making this easier to use

[AaronDewes]

I think this makes Alby much easier to use on Linux, but it could probably be made even easier. Here are some ideas:

• Debian packages for specific browsers
• Install script that autodetects browsers
• A minimal GUI wrapper

@bumi @secondl1ght
What do you think about these ideas and which one do you think is the one you'd like to see implemented first?

thanks @AaronDewes yes, this should be much easier and smarter on Linux than those stupid shell scripts.

with packages for specific browsers you mean something like apt-get install alby-firefox ?

I somewhat like the idea of a simple install executable that contains the logic to configure the browsers (and ideally auto-detects which browser are available).
This would then hopefully be easy to maintain because only one binary/package is needed.

There has been some thoughts about using bubbletea to write a small CLI installer. Go compiles to a single binary that then also can be easily downloaded.

@bumi I don't think the shell scripts are stupid, they worked well for me 😄. @AaronDewes these are all good options and would be an improvement I think, even though it is very easy even for new Linux users now. That bubbletea suggestion looks fun, I would like something like that. What other options did you have in mind for a minimal GUI wrapper? I think a TUI/GUI wrapper would be my first choice to upgrade the Linux installer. If we make it a package then users can update easier.

Sorry for the delay, I was thinking about a bash script that utilizes Zenity, Yad or KDialog. What do you think about these options?
