Description
Hi, I was just checking out GitButler for the first time. I downloaded it assuming it would be set for Windows, but saw it downloaded the dmg. I noticed that by default Apple is selected for the download button.
Instead it would be great if it was changed such that if the default OS being chosen is based on the Client visiting the website. (By default people tend to assume, that the website would give the OS appropriate version for the default download)
Thanks!
(I think the tag would be @gitbutler/website?)

I'm also new to GitButler, and thought about the same thing, if you're open to external contributors, I can make a PR for this issue

Thanks for reporting, and setting the default to what's appropriate for the OS seems very reasonable.
Whenever there is multiple options for the platform, I wonder if it's possible to make a decision based on what likely will be the user-agent string. For instance, is it possible to tell Apple Silicon apart from Intel?
Also, on Linux, there is a presumably impossible choice between different kinds of packages.
In any case, differentiating broadly already seems like an improvement.
@wleklinskimateusz A PR would definitely be welcome, thanks for offering.

regarding the Intel vs Apple Silicon it seems to be possible but the support for this may be limited to newer browsers, I'll check it out and try to test on various platforms
