Important for Linux users

Update: Now available on Flathub

Due to ever growing library blacklists, building portable AppImages has become increasingly difficult. As a result, I've decided to stop distributing them. I will be making efforts to get Memento included in the repositories of more distributions in the future. For now, Memento can be easily installed via the AUR if it's available to you.
