docs: Update partitioning cheatsheet to reflect Fedora as default
The partitioning cheatsheet referenced "Arch Linux ARM" as the default installation option, but Fedora Asahi Remix has been the default/flagship distribution since its release. Update the reference to match the current installer behavior. Closes #221 Signed-off-by: Eric Rowan <ericrowan@icloud.com>

For Asahi Linux, we do not install alongside macOS in the same container, because that would require using APFS for Linux (which isn't stable yet nor mainlined). We just create normal GPT partitions for Linux. Asahi Linux also needs to install itself the same way macOS would, into an APFS container as a volume group, to be actually bootable. This is what we call the "stub macOS" and is what links the Apple world to the Linux world. Think of it as a bootloader partition. We *could* share a container with macOS for this, but we *choose* not to because it makes it less error-prone and easier to delete, and we're already partitioning the disk anyway.
