Subject: [PATCH] feat: Add Backup Location Path Notification for Linux Updates

Implements a new feature for the Updater for Linux users, that notifies them of the directory of where their backup folder has been made & stores their last version of the emulator. This folder is not stagnant, for now, it makes a backup folder wherever the AppImage is, so it'll create a new one if the AppImage is moved to a separate location. Can be looked into in the future to make it so users can select a location. For now, this works.
