Code Review

This pull request updates the README to reflect that official Linux binaries are no longer provided, directing Linux users to build from source instead. A review comment suggests re-adding the installation and execution commands for Linux to maintain clarity for users who follow the source build path.

chmod +x Tari-Universe-*.AppImage
./Tari-Universe-*.AppImage
```
Linux builds are no longer published as official release artifacts. If you want to run Tari Universe on Linux, build it from source using the instructions in [Building from source](#building-from-source).

While official Linux binaries are no longer provided, users who build from source still need to know how to install or run the resulting files. Removing the installation commands entirely makes the process less clear for users following the source build path.

Consider re-adding the commands, for example:

# Install the .deb package
sudo dpkg -i target/release/bundle/tari-universe_*.deb

# Or run the .AppImage
chmod +x target/release/bundle/Tari-Universe-*.AppImage
./target/release/bundle/Tari-Universe-*.AppImage

Keep the Linux guidance explicit for users who build from source by documenting how to run the local .deb and AppImage bundles.
