Linux support (dev + CUDA + AppImage/deb) #13

Description

@VinewZ

Proposal

I'd like to bring StemKit to Linux (x64), matching what macOS and Windows have today:

  1. Dev support: run dev works on Linux, including bundled ffmpeg and a reliable Python setup without manual installs.
  2. GPU splits: the NVIDIA GPU-acceleration toggle working on Linux, with CPU remaining the default.
  3. Packages: AppImage (portable, self-updating) and deb releases built by CI, alongside the existing macOS/Windows assets.

Testing

I've already implemented and tested all of this locally on Arch Linux with an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti: the AppImage launches and runs splits, GPU separation works, and CPU fallback behaves as expected.

Tradeoffs to be aware of

  • Adds a Linux CI job.
  • The deb package can't self-update in-app (AppImage only); deb users would re-download.
  • x64 only, no arm packages for now.

If this sounds good, I can submit the PR, would you prefer it as one PR or split (app support first, packaging second)?
