0.8.0 is published with Linux and macOS packages, so the README and the code signing policy say so.

  • README:
    • The tagline, the badge and the download link no longer say Windows only.
    • Get started covers each system; Linux and macOS are marked preview. On macOS, the first opening needs Open Anyway, because the app is not notarized.
    • Where data lives on each system.
    • The FAQ now says yes to Linux and macOS, with what is missing: Intel Macs, and keep-awake off Windows.
    • Development lists the Linux libraries.
  • Code signing policy:
    • Status says the macOS app is not notarized (ad-hoc signature only) and the Linux packages are not signed.
    • Attestations now cover every download.
    • What Botloft changes on Linux (systemd user service, autostart entry) and on macOS (launch agents).
    • How to uninstall there.
  • Uninstalling on Linux and macOS: removing the app does not stop the background service, because no uninstaller runs botloftd service uninstall the way the Windows one does. Both pages give that command first. A .deb maintainer script could do it later.

The .deb package name (botloft, for apt remove) was read from the package itself.

Downloads and first opening for each system (macOS is not notarized,
so Open Anyway), where data lives, what Botloft changes on each
system, and how to stop the background service before removing the
app on Linux and macOS, where no uninstaller does it.
