firstly, i absolutely love this project. thank you so much for all your work!

Linux
This will run on Linux; you should run amnezia-wg instead of using default linux kernel module.

its just that imho this section doesn't really show to the casual Linux user on what is he actually supposed to do to run this on his machine.
i wish it was more descriptive

thanks again for all the effort

Building

This requires an installation of the latest version of [Go](https://go.dev/).

$ git clone https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-go
$ cd amneziawg-go
$ make

make install ? ok, assume make install is the way to go. thanks, chatgpt
