Add Linux support/instructions

[Enderteck]

Could there be Linux support of this injector ?

Linux had more Steam users than Mac and being able to mod Love2d games on Linux would be great.

Does the Mac bash script work for Linux (with an .so intead of .dylib) or doesn't it need adjustements or a rewrite ?

It's a bit complicated because there's no real way to build native game binaries, instead they must be distributed in .love format and must be run via the love CLI. It's not impossible to support this, just something I haven't had time to investigate quite yet.

[Enderteck]

No, you can def build binaries, you can do "cat squashfs-root/bin/love SuperGame.love > squashfs-root/bin/SuperGame" To merge your .love game into the love binary to get a game executable.

I've done it myself.

Gotcha, I must've missed that on the wiki. Bumping this to high priority, thanks for the correction and the request :-)

For anyone that might be interested, I packaged balatro with lovely-injector support on NixOS. I know Nix is not the easiest language, but it may be useful to somebody.

For anyone having trouble I spent a few hours and figured it out! I have a full write up of instructions to using Balatro on linux and building lovely-injector for linux use. Works perfectly and runs natively instead of through wine/proton.
