PassKeys.io is really saying there is a workaround when they write
["Phone passkeys (QR code flow) and physical security keys
only"](https://www.passkeys.io/compatible-devices).   The private part
of the passkey should never leave the device it was created on, so by
design, it should not sync anywhere else.  However, if you have a
passkey on your cellphone or YubiKey but want to authenticate on your
Linux desktop, then Bluetooth ( or a USB cable)  connected to your
desktop should offer a workaround.  It worked for me before but not sure
which Linux PC and which web browser on which Linux machine.  If your
Linux desktop has supported TPM hardware, then i do not see why it would
not work.  US DOD does it.
