Provide proper documentation support for Linux #101

Description

@nordfalk

Please do some effort to update your web page and documentation.
As a Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS user I have wasted much time trying to follow incomplete installation instructions.

For example, on https://www.mblock.cc/en/download/mlink/ there is just a .deb file, but no mention whatsoefter that you have to run

sudo mblock-mlink start
to actually start it.

Even then, it isnt working, as by default some udev rules are installed of a device for braille, that uses the same USB id.
So you have to follow https://forum.makeblock.com/t/not-recognize-mbot-in-gnu-linux-with-mlink/20113 and remove that rule

sudo mv /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/85-brltty.rules /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/85-brltty.rules.disabled
I wonder if you really want to actually have Linux support?
If so (which I really really home!), please put some hours of effort in testing on newer major Linuxes and updating the documentation so we Linux users can get going relatively easy 🙏 🙏 🙏
