-## Installation
-
-If you haven't already, install [.NET SDK 6.0](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0) on your computer.
-From then, download the appropriate build from [here](https://github.com/mmvanheusden/SteamDepotDownloaderGUI/releases/latest).
+## Rewrite
+Computer resources are not an all-you-can-eat buffet. The executables weigh on average 103 MB.  
+That's why in the future, this project is fully switching to a different toolset. With a preference to something that uses Rust as its language.
+A lighter, more low-level framework would be more suited than Electron.
 
 
-> **Note:**
-> No support will be provided for binaries downloaded from unofficial mirrors like softpedia.
+## Download
+> [!NOTE]  
+> In the future, SteamDepotDownloaderGUI will use the newer, OS-specific builds of DepotDownloader, which no longer needs .NET to be installed before-hand.
+
+.NET is a confusing system. If you are having trouble try uninstalling every .NET version on your computer, and then downloading the ones provided.
+
+### Windows:
+* If you haven't already, install **[.NET SDK 6](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0)** on your computer.
+  ![image](https://github.com/mmvanheusden/SteamDepotDownloaderGUI/assets/50550545/a3a73f24-21ec-433b-995a-4709b8b1fb91)
+
+Then, download the [latest Windows build](https://github.com/mmvanheusden/SteamDepotDownloaderGUI/releases/latest)
+
+### **Linux:**
+You'll need .NET SDK, and unzip. Also any of the following terminals (you most likely already have at least one of these):  
+`gnome-terminal` / `konsole` / `xfce4-terminal` / `cool-retro-term`😎 / `terminator` /  
+`terminology` / `xterm` / `kitty` / `lxterminal` / `tilix` / `deepin-terminal`
+
+#### Arch Linux:
+> [!WARNING]
+> **I do not have control over the AUR package!!**
+* There is an [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steamdepotdownloadergui-bin) that someone made. this can be installed using `yay -S steamdepotdownloadergui-bin`.  
+
+#### Other Linux distros:
+**You'll need `unzip`, and .NET SDK 6.**
+
+* **Debian-based Linux distributions:**  
+  `sudo apt install unzip dotnet-sdk-6.0`
+* **Fedora:**  
+  `sudo dnf install unzip dotnet-sdk-6.0`
+
+There are several options, AppImage, and a `.zip`, for both x64 and arm64.
