Validated Project NOMAD on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS across two builds (an AMD/CPU
box and an NVIDIA RTX 5060 box), so recommend 26.04 as the default going
forward. 24.04 LTS and Debian 12 remain supported.
- bug_report.yml: add Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute Raccoon) to the OS dropdown
- README / CONTRIBUTING / FAQ: name Ubuntu 26.04 LTS as the recommended version
- getting-started.md: correct the GPU note. NOMAD's installer sets up the
NVIDIA Container Toolkit and Docker runtime automatically; the user only
needs the NVIDIA driver (via "Install third-party drivers" at OS setup)
Retire the dotted "N.O.M.A.D." styling everywhere in favor of
"Project NOMAD" (no periods) ahead of the trademark filing, and
remove the "Node for Offline Media, Archives, and Data" backronym
from all copy except a single origin-story line in the About page
(corrected to "Maps" rather than "Media").
Scope is display strings only: docs, admin UI labels/titles, install
script output, Dockerfile labels, package.json description, and issue
templates. Code identifiers, container/service names, env vars, CSS
tokens, URLs, and the project-nomad slug are unchanged.

The /install/wsl2 community-supported install guide is now live on
projectnomad.us. Update the README install section and FAQ to point
Windows users at it instead of deflecting WSL2 questions to "see the
Debian-only answer."
Doesn't change the official-support stance — bare-metal Debian-based
Linux remains the supported configuration. Just removes the dead-end
deflection so Windows users have a real path forward.
