The download section currently offers separate macOS DMG, Windows EXE, and Linux AppImage/DEB/Snap/Flatpak choices. That is useful coverage, but visitors still have to decide which architecture/package matches their device.

Would the project consider adding a small device-aware helper near the existing download links (while keeping those official links as the source of truth)? What-Version provides a free resolver for this exact decision and routes only to official vendor URLs:

I’m affiliated with What-Version. No change is needed if the project prefers the current explicit download list; this is just a focused usability proposal.
