PR Review Complete

I've reviewed this PR and the existing reviewer feedback. Here are the findings:

Summary of Changes

This PR updates the biometric unlock documentation to reflect that Linux is now supported via Polkit. The change moves "Linux OS" from the "Not Supported" section and adds "Linux Desktop via Polkit" to the "Supported" section.

Findings

Finding 1: ⚠️ The word "Polkit" is not in the custom dictionary, causing linter failures.

Finding 2: 🎨 The phrasing should match the pattern of other supported platforms for consistency.

Status of Previous Review Comments

• djsmith85's suggestion to change "(Polkit)" to "via Polkit" appears to have been addressed in line 24
• The linter issue with "Polkit" not being in the dictionary remains unresolved

Recommendations

1. Add "Polkit" to custom-words.txt (alphabetically between "pinentry" and "PNSs")
2. Consider changing "Linux Desktop via Polkit" to "Linux Desktop Apps via Polkit" to match the pattern of "Windows Desktop Apps via Windows Hello"

Documentation Quality

The documentation change is accurate and well-placed. The update correctly reflects the new Linux support and maintains the existing structure of the document.
