Description

Problem

It's not super easy at the moment for folks to add AppCenter as a remote on their distro. There are no instructions on the website or any way for folks to know how to do this

Proposal

These days, stores like KDE Discover and GNOME Software handle flatpak repo files. We should have a big primary CTA at the top of the page that downloads https://flatpak.elementary.io/repo.flatpakrepo

Prior Art (Optional)

No response

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add a prominent call to action button at the top of the page that downloads the flatpak repo file from https://flatpak.elementary.io/repo.flatpakrepo. The button should be styled to match the existing design.
