Suggested Wiki Updates for Linux Users

[shenryp]

What feature would you like added?
Greetings - please find some suggested updates for the wiki pertaining to use on linux below. Coupled with the open PR for x11 support, this should work great for the upcoming 3.26 poe1 league.

I'd open a PR for this directly but github doesn't support wiki PRs.

Why do you want this feature added?
Few tweaks to clarify installation requirements for linux, suggested approach, as well as where to find the json configs for manual editing if needed (eg, reposition control panel overlay to 2nd monitor).
