Code Review

This pull request introduces two documentation improvements. First, it corrects the Linux installation instructions for bash to use .bashrc instead of .bash_profile, which is more appropriate for interactive shells. Second, it adds a new troubleshooting section for a "Filename too long" error that can occur on Windows when upgrading Flutter.

My review includes a suggestion to fix an inconsistency in the path for the bash command and another suggestion to relocate the new troubleshooting section to a more centralized document for better organization.

Please note that this PR contains two unrelated changes. In the future, it's a good practice to create separate PRs for separate concerns. This makes reviewing easier and keeps the commit history cleaner.
