📄 Description

Summary

Add a note to the Package managers section clarifying that the Homebrew formula on Linux does not support NVIDIA GPU acceleration (CUDA), and direct users to the install script for CUDA support.

Context

Users installing Ollama via Homebrew on Linux may not realize that GPU acceleration won't work, leading to confusion and wasted debugging time.

Fixes #13657
