AFAIK OTP releases are the recomended way of installing, but * People seem unaware of that and use from source installations because they use the guide with the name of their distro * People don't know what OTP releases are or what it means I added a warning on all installation-from-source guides and added the same explanation on the two OTP pages (the miigration to OTP and installing OTP) Backport of: https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/merge_requests/3485

## OTP releases vs from-source installations

There are two ways to install Pleroma. You can use OTP releases or do a from-source installation. OTP releases are as close as you can get to binary releases with Erlang/Elixir. The release is self-contained, and provides everything needed to boot it, it is easily administered via the provided shell script to open up a remote console, start/stop/restart the release, start in the background, send remote commands, and more. With from source installations you install Pleroma from source, meaning you have to install certain dependencies like Erlang+Elixir and compile Pleroma yourself.
