If you go to link the sensor to an Orb account you need to do it under the orb user, not the currently logged in user who isn't going to be the user context when systemd starts the sensor.

Pull Request
What changes have you made?
Added a section for RPM-based distros showing how to properly link the systemd-run sensor to your Orb account.
Why are these changes helpful?
If someone naively runs
orb linkafter installing the sensor the link info will be stored under that user, not theorbuser that systemd uses to run the sensor at boot. This leads to a weird situation where the sensor shows online if the logged in user that did the linking runsorb sensorbut not with the systemd-runorb sensor.Related issues or considerations
May be useful in other Linux distro pages or as part of the overarching Linux setup page but I don't have other systems to test at the moment so will leave that choice up to maintainers (and happy to put this on another or other pages as desired).

Additional notes
Thank you to Wayne who ID'ed what I had done wrong and clearly explained what I needed to do to fix it. Figured it would be better in the docs as that's the first place I went before reaching out to support.
Please wait for feedback from the maintainers before merging.
