Make it a bit clearer on how to install especially on Linux, and hints at flow rate adjustment.

Make it a bit clearer on how to install especially on Linux
Describe that flow rate should be adjusted.

Hi @wernight - I like some of the changes you suggested, but I am worried about others.

The Mac/Windows Examples: Suggesting ~/ is nice, because will work with whatever user they have. 👍

But I don't want to encourage people to have the script in their "Download" folder, where they can later empty without realizing. That's why I created hypothetical examples, it's to make people decide "where they should save their script"...

Does it make sense? Right now I am finishing an error_log to help people on reporting problems, if they happen. Tomorrow I'll have a look again on your suggestions for the README.

Hi all!
Well, Linux-Users mostly know what they do ;-)
I'd the same problem on my Linux Mint. I chose my HOME-folder but I typed it wrong. So there were an error message with the path to the Error-Log. For me the best place at all:

/usr/bin/python3 /home/stefan/.config/OrcaSlicer/bricklayers.py -startAtLayer 3 -extrusionMultiplier 1.05 -enabled 1;

... and I don't understand the complicated path to python3 - it should already be installed on all Main-Linuxes in the same place.

... just my 2 cents ...

Downloads folder makes it easy to get started. Some users then may put it in ~/opt/ or other locations. Maybe next to their slicer. There is no standard for such scripts. I also think most Linux users would understand and adapt.
