Problem
As #2278 points out, the error message for certificate errors is outdated:
According to our own wiki pages,
mozroots
has been superseded bycert-sync
since Mono 3.12.0 in early 2015, but the error message still suggestsmozroots
.Changes
This pull request updates it to recommend the wiki page about certs instead:
This page was created just now based on the information previously scattered across each Linux page about certs, which now link to the new page. This way instead of updating the code to keep up with changes in Mono, we can just update the wiki, and everyone has the latest info.
Since we can check the user's platform directly, "If you're on Linux" is removed.
