When executableName is not set under Linux, productName is not used as the default value.

According to the documentation, when I do not set executableName, electron-builder should use the productName that I have set as the default value.

my electronBuilder.ts

import { Configuration } from 'electron-builder'
export default {
  appId: 'com.tech-trans.ttpos.std86',
  files: ['app-dist/**/*'],
  productName: 'MyApp',
  // executableName: 'MyApp',
  artifactName: '${productName}-${version}-${os}-${arch}.${ext}',
} satisfies Configuration

electron: 33.2.1

electron-builder: 25.1.8

node: 22.12.0

pnpm: 9.12.2

os: Linux xxx 6.8.0-51-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Dec 5 13:09:44 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am not familiar with this library, but the code should be at this location.:

electron-builder/packages/app-builder-lib/src/linuxPackager.ts

Lines 20 to 21 in c4f5497

	const executableName = this.platformSpecificBuildOptions.executableName ?? info.config.executableName
	this.executableName = executableName == null ? this.appInfo.sanitizedName.toLowerCase() : sanitizeFileName(executableName)

Looks like sanitizedName might need to be sanitizedProductName? I'll add this to my todo list, but it's fairly low priority due to work+life events and a few other critical issues I'm already working on. If you'd like to open a PR and contribute, it'd be highly appreciated!
