📄 Description

The manual install instructions pipe .tar.zst archives into tar x, but GNU tar requires the --zstd option to decompress zstd-compressed archives. Without it, users get:

tar: Archive is compressed. Use --zstd option
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Added --zstd to all four tar invocations in docs/linux.mdx (amd64, amd64-rocm, arm64, and the update section).

Fixes #15693
