LINUX WEB INSTALLER ISSUE AND WORKAROUND NOTICE

There's a bug in the fwupd service used by desktop Linux distributions causing the fastboot claim interface failure for our web installer and also similar failures for CLI fastboot. You can work around this by stopping fwupd such as with:

`systemctl stop [fwupd.service]`

(Remove square brackets. Had to add as Amethyst detects as link.)

This issue has unfortunately stopped MANY Linux users from successfully installing GrapheneOS. They've had to run the web installer on Windows, macOS or a Linux distribution without this issue such as ChromeOS or Android. Users on an OS like Arch Linux will often have added it.

There was also a similar bug in GVFS which appears to be resolved now. Many distributions freeze their packages for months or even years with only security bugs with a CVE assignment getting patched. These bugs have hindered adoption of GrapheneOS. It's hard to know how much.
