Hyperlink [Install on Linux] doesn't work

Hello Odie,

Are you accessing that link on a Linux system? And if so, do you have an 
app like KDE's Discover or GNOME Software installed?

I ask because those are apps that handle appstream:// URLs; without one, 
the links won't do anything. And the website unfortunately doesn't have 
the capacity to detect whether your system is set up to handle 
appstream:// URLs.
