When installing Brave, you must change the repo to Xenial for it to find it on Linux Mint

After it finds it, it downloads the following version:

V8 6.7.288.46
rev 3ee14b0
Muon 7.1.6
OS Release 4.15.0-29-generic
Update Channel Release
OS Architecture x64
OS Platform Linux
Node.js 7.9.0
Brave Sync v1.4.2
libchromiumcontent 67.0.3396.103

I think we just need to add the latest dist code name to our script

DIST='artful zesty yakkety xenial jessie trusty serena stretch bionic buster'

@Xenios91 do you know what the dist code name for your OS is? We should already be supporting bionic, which I believe Linux Mint 19 uses

@Xenios91 can you please try again? I pushed the latest release on Linux again. Perhaps there was an issue when doing our last release. I verified this one looks good 😄

I got an error trying to install Brave on Linux Mint Tara with a Forbidden 403 when trying to perform apt-get update. I tried adjusting the versions of Linux mint down until I got to
brave-tara.list to
deb [arch=amd64] https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/brave-apt serena main
and this worked.

@bsclifton please can you add 'tara' to which is Mint 19 codename?

DIST='artful zesty yakkety xenial jessie trusty serena stretch bionic buster'

otherwise I had to change file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-tara.list
and replace
deb [arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ tara main
to
deb [arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ bionic main

Thank you.
