Hello Ollama Team,

First, thank you for the great tool!
I wanted to provide some feedback on the main download page at ollama.com.

What I expected:
When I saw the three logos for macOS, Linux, and Windows presented equally, I expected that a graphical desktop application was available for all three platforms.

What actually happened:
The Linux download provides the command-line installation script. I only discovered that the new graphical UI is not yet available for Linux after reading the blog post.

Suggestion:
This could be made clearer for new users. Perhaps a small note under the Linux icon, like "(CLI only, GUI coming soon)", would help manage expectations.
Thank you for your consideration!
