It might be unclear to some users whether `usbmuxd` is referring to the `libimobiledevice/usbmuxd` project to provide this service on Linux, or the service "in general" in the way iTunes provides it on Windows via `AppleMobileDeviceService` or on MacOS X. Explain more clearly that this project is only required on Linux.
