Linux changes in this build

• Preview build, made from the upstream 3.6.7 beta 3: it carries what the next release will bring, and the bugs a beta comes with
• The installed app keeps its size of earlier builds: the upstream beta copies the commands of its bundled git in full instead of linking them, which doubles that size, and this build keeps them as links
• Also available as a Flatpak, from the beta channel of the package repository or as a .flatpak file: either way, flatpak update brings the betas that follow
• The package repository serves the .deb, the .rpm and the Flatpak on its beta channel, and keeps them up to date through apt, dnf or flatpak: https://packages-github-desktop.nitramo.fr/
• The .deb package is numbered below the 3.6.7 release it precedes, so that apt moves on to that release once it is out
• If you installed the .deb of 3.6.7-beta2-linux1, install this one by hand: apt reads its corrected number as older
• Beta channel features are enabled, as in the official beta builds
• The window shows its own icon under Wayland, and groups with its launcher in the taskbar
• Ptyxis is detected as a terminal, along with the editors and shells upstream added since 3.4.13
