[Documentation and/or app improvement] Inform Linux users that "File System in Userspace (FUSE) v2 libraries" are necessary #235

Dear Internxt developers,

I am using Fedora 43. When I followed the AppImage documentation, the launch of the AppImage did not work and resulted in an error message on the command line. After some research, I realized that the package fuse-libs was missing on my Fedora installation, which could easily be installed. Afterwards, the AppImage has been fully functional.
This package contains the "File System in Userspace (FUSE) v2 libraries," see https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/fuse/fuse-libs/index.html .
It seems that the "File System in Userspace (FUSE) v2 libraries" have different names on different distributions and that they are not always installed by default.

Can the documentation be improved so that Linux users are informed that the libraries are necessary and how to install them on the most popular Linux distributions?
I would also suggest that the AppImage shows an info message when the libraries are missing.

Thank you for the Linux app. I hope that an rpm or a Flatpak version will be available soon.
