Great update, just one small tweak

bin is more commonly used than bin.gz

.gz is only used for ESP02 (with limited flash size) though it can work on other ESP8266.

I had to use .gz on my ESP8266 because the .bin wouldn't work. Does .gz not work for all devices? I figured it was sort of the lowest common denominator.

OK, I assume this is explained elsewhere, so I just removed the reference to the .bin.gz file here.

BTW regarding OTA updates: It is also possible to update OTA directly from PIO using correctly configured environment. I.e. upload_protocol = espota
;upload_port="192.168.xxx.xxx"
upload_port="wled-test.local" |

I do not use/have Linux so really can't comment or verify.
However it is ok to remove ArduinoIDE instructions. Perhaps adding a disclaimer that it is no longer supported would be good.

Files are only copied into release folder if their environment has WLED_RELEASE_NAME macro/constant set.

just curious - if you build your firmware within VSCode, why would a user want to manually upload with esptool, and not use the "build and upload" button?
