Problem

burn_linux.go shells out to growisofs (from the dvd+rw-tools package) to perform disc burns. If growisofs is not installed, the user receives a cryptic error:

growisofs not found � install dvd+rw-tools (e.g. sudo apt install dvd+rw-tools)

There is no way to install it through Settings > Dependencies.

Fix

Add dvd+rw-tools as an optional managed dependency in the deps module (Linux only)
Add install/uninstall commands for apt, dnf, pacman, zypper
Show it in Settings > Dependencies alongside Tesseract, Whisper, etc.
Check for growisofs at burn time and surface a friendly error with a link to Settings if not found
