Wanted to add missing-but-important "Mainnet" projects (Boxo, Rainbow, Someguy) to /install page, but realized the information architecture was pretty outdated and not very intuitive, so I've separated it into three sections:

  1. User-Friendly Options
  2. Command-Line & Infrastructure Tools
  3. Software Development

This should make it easier for user visiting https://docs.ipfs.tech/install to make choice what to read, and what to skip + help ecosystem with people using Kubo for everything because they don't know better alternatives.

Updated various navigation and content links and applied minor fixes along the way.

Nice! A few minor suggestions but 2 things to discuss:

  • I don't think this entire page should be labelled as Mainnet. Many of these tools including kubo are used in private networks as well, and Mainnet is still a lesser-known term.
  • Could Kubo move to software development (closer to helia, etc.) which would also that Infrastructure Tools?

Also, why is Helia, Boxo, etc. considered an SDK but Kubo is not?
