📄 Description

This PR adds detailed minimum system requirements for all supported platforms to help users understand compatibility requirements for installing the desktop app.

The requirements section covers Windows 10 1803+/Windows 11, macOS 10.15+ with both arch (Intel and Apple Silicon) support, and Linux distro with special emphasis on GLIBC 2.38+ requirements.

Also the documentation specifically goes over why Ubuntu 24.04 is the recommended distro - mainly due to its inclusion of WebKit2GTK version 2.44.0-2, which gets us relatively stable interaction between WebKit, UI libraries, Mesa drivers, and Wayland displays.

Also added known workarounds for users experiencing display issues on Wayland systems.

Plus it restructures sections to improve clarity, consolidating instructions for both Community and Enterprise editions, since they follow identical connection procedures.

Also the system requirements include extensive footnote references to GitHub issues, bug reports, and package repositories that document the technical rationale behind these requirements.
