Heroic 2.18.0 "Waterfall Beard" Jorul Latest

HI!

This new Heroic release brings several UI and UX improvements besides several fixes and a new Opt-in Anonymous analytics.

After a long time discussing this in our team and almost 5 years of the first Heroic release we decided to try to understand more our userbase. For that we use Plausible Analytics that is also open-source and privacy-first. All data is 100% anonymous and it serves only to have an idea of the number of users accross the different operating systems we support.
With that we can have a better idea on what to focus next and what to prioritize.

Another important move on this version is that the Flatpak is being reverted to Runtime 23.08 due to issues with Gamepad input on SteamDeck Gaming mode.
If you need runtime 24.08 (for HDR and better Wayland support) install Heroic from the Beta branch on Flathub.
