[GH 2874] Fix category for deb and clairfy directory information in README for linux (#2884)
* Remove expliced category from deb The expliced category value for deb is not correct. The linux section has a correct category value and deb is part of its target. So the category from linux should be applied if there is no expliced one in the deb section. Issue: mattermost/desktop#2874 * Linux README: clarify where to find directory Change the example directory to the path, where it is at a deb installation. Add a hint that a reader in a local README already found the correct directory. Issue: mattermost/desktop#2874
