Describe the solution you would like

Add a badge similar to the Windows section with Microsoft Store, but with a Flathub badge. Add brief information indicating that the easiest way to install Jasp is through flathub.
When opening the installation section for Linux systems, update the list of supported distributions, where most of them can install Jasp from the default store in the flathub repository. Leave the installation commands at the end for advanced users.

Even today it is intimidating for new users to see command lines. I think that providing installation instructions in a manner similar to other supported systems helps a lot with software adoption in general.

grafik

And most of those hints are probably obsolete since the last update to the guide was 2022-06-20, while the chromebook-guide is from september 2023
