we already have tooling to read from registry in the server. maybe we should use that?

i dont like the idea of checking for os like that. makes expension annoying imo
and it is duplicated in two locations in the code.

I'm thinking of making it so the InstalledInfoRequest packet has a table of requests it can do and have the gui specifically ask for udev rules when on Linux.

That kinda feels like moving the problem to a differerent spot instead of solving it though.

why is it nullable if it is set here?
