📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Body:
Describe the bug:

After upgrading to Proxmox VE 8.4.1, the helper script incorrectly reports that my system is unsupported:

✗ This version of Proxmox Virtual Environment is not supported  
Requires Proxmox Virtual Environment Version 8.1 or later.  
Exiting...

However, I'm on a version higher than 8.1, so this check should pass.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

To Reproduce:

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Upgrade Proxmox to version 8.4.1

Run the helper script via:

bash <(curl -s https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/)
Script exits with version unsupported error

Expected behavior:

The script should detect 8.4.1 as valid (since it’s newer than 8.1) and proceed with the menu.

System Info:

pveversion
pve-manager/8.4.1/2a5fa54a8503f96d (running kernel: 6.8.12-11-pve)

Suggestion:

The version check logic might be doing a string comparison rather than a proper semantic version check. Recommend updating to parse version numbers correctly or relaxing the version validation if not critical.

Thanks for your awesome work on these scripts!

Paste the full error output (if available).

✗ This version of Proxmox Virtual Environment is not supported
Requires Proxmox Virtual Environment Version 8.1 or later.
