yusufipk 993eb6511b Keep the Fedora section to what you have to type
The section ran longer than Ubuntu and macOS put together, and most of it
answered questions nobody asked while installing: why ffmpeg-free is enough
in detail, why the runtime directory settles after login, and why the local
models need nothing added. That last one says "do nothing", which is what
the reader would have done anyway. The reasoning stays in the pull request,
where it belongs; the README keeps the package line and the drop-in.

install.sh printed the drop-in the README already carries, six lines where
every other warning there is two. It now points at the README.

Its readiness check also went from asking whether the unit was up to asking
whether the socket is writable, which reads a stopped daemon as ready: the
socket file outlives the process. It now wants both, with pgrep for the
process so a ydotoold started by hand still counts. All five paths were
exercised with systemctl and pgrep shims, and on this Arch box the real
user service still reports ready.
