Linux Releases

[rehandaphedar]

Please describe the need for the feature:
It would be great to have official releases for Linux in addition to Windows and MacOS.

Please describe the feature and the requirements for its ideal implementation:
From what I understood on the GitHub Actions page, Linux support would need:

• A new action using pyinstaller configured for Linux.
• Update the release action to include the linux binary.

Please describe any alternatives you have tried or considered:

• Runs in a python3.8 virtualenv.
• EDIT: Runs using pipx.

Additional Notes or Context

A suitable and compatible source for Linux builds of ffmpeg would also need to be identified for use in creating Linux releases. Alternatively, Linux releases could be made to rely on ffmpeg on the user's system path with documentation that makes the dependency clear.

Using system ffmpeg (with a variable to override ffmpeg binary path) seems reasonable to me, since most Linux distros would have ffmpeg in their official repos.
