[install] Balena Etcher fails to install

[LukeShortCloud]

When using the default Arch Linux + SteamOS installation type. We may need to tweak the installation step to be based on the detected operating system and not the target operating system.

electron12 have been removed from Arch repo

Yeah, looks like there's only Electron 17 through 20 packages as of right now.

I figured out the underlying issue. SteamOS provides its own build of balena-etcher but it's built using Arch Linux packages from 2022-01. It has Electron 9 through 16 available.

We need to just provide our own build of Balena Etcher in the winesapOS repository built with a newer Electron.

I also tried installing etcher-bin (a rebuild of a Debian package) but it fails to run with a segfault. There is an AppImage from the official website (not on the AUR). Maybe we should ship that instead.

I believe their website has the wrong download link. This AppImage works properly:
