bootdev doesn't build on Unix platforms outside of macOS and Linux

Hi! I've done go install github.com/bootdotdev/bootdev@latest on FreeBSD, however I noticed it said:

package github.com/bootdotdev/bootdev: build constraints exclude all Go files in $HOME/go/pkg/mod/github.com/bootdotdev/bootdev@v1.20.1

then I saw you have this in the main.go:

//go:build darwin || linux

Strange decision to only build on those platforms. Shouldn't it be

//go:build !windows

instead? Windows is the only non-Unix(-like) platform supported by Go, so using !windows is clearer.

We've made some updates, is this still an issue for you? You should be able to install it now. However, I dont know if you can submit lessons on FreeBSD. Maybe we need to add support for FreeBSD and other non-linux unix systems.
