Updated build instructions (#3573) 
Building on Ubuntu 18.04 no longer works as documented

```
CMake Error at lib/settings/CMakeLists.txt:132 (message):
  GCC version must be at least 8.0 if using std filesystem
```

I verified the build instructions on Ubuntu 20.04 and they work as advertised.

For Ubuntu 18.04, you'd have the option of
1) Manually installing a later version of GCC
2) Using clang
3) passing the `-DPAJLADA_SETTINGS_USE_BOOST_FILESYSTEM=1` flag to cmake

Linux

Note on Qt version compatibility: If you are installing Qt from a package manager, please ensure the version you are installing is at least Qt 5.12 or newer.

Ubuntu 20.04

Most likely works the same for other Debian-like distros

  1. Install all of the dependencies using sudo apt install qttools5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libboost-dev libssl-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev cmake g++

Compiling through Qt Creator

  1. Install C++ IDE Qt Creator by using sudo apt install qtcreator
  2. Open chatterino.pro with Qt Creator and select build

Manually

  1. Go into the project directory
  2. Create a build folder and go into it (mkdir build && cd build)
  3. Use one of the options below to compile it

Using CMake

cmake .. && make

Using QMake

qmake .. && make

Arch Linux

Through AUR

Manually

  1. Install all of the dependencies using sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-multimedia qt5-svg qt5-tools gst-plugins-ugly gst-plugins-good boost rapidjson pkgconf openssl cmake
