Research direction
Start with docs/standard/security/cross-platform-cryptography.md and the CurrentUser/My discussion in the issue. Review the linked CertificateResolver.cs reference and determine what practical Linux certificate-store guidance or relevant instructions can be added. Done means the page explains how to populate the supported store so an application can discover the certificate.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The page explains which scenarios are supported, but (at least to me) the explanation of how to actually populate the Linux stores with a certificate remains vague. It says "class is a projection of system trust decisions (read-only), user trust decisions (read-write), and user key storage (read-write)" and also "no user stores exist by default".
Is it possible to provide a bit more detail (e.g. link to relevant instructions) about how one would actually put a cert in the store so that an app can find it?
The CurrentUser/My store is of interest because that is what appears to be used under the hood by ProtectKeysWithCertificate (source). It checks the CurrentUser/My and LocalMachine/My; the latter is not supported on Linux according to the docs page.
