This change is considered a fix instead of a feature because the Linux plugin has been available for quite sometime. The only thing missing was making it available in the agent bakery.

With this fix, you can now bake the agent plugin for Linux environments. We also updated the rule documentation to make this clear. Unlike the Windows rule, the path to the Nvidia SMI executable does not need to be specified. Simply save the configuration with its defaults and bake it.
