methods and you need to recreate or upgrade your pre existing stores. The changes allows the PSCredentialStore
module to support the PowerShell `Core` editions. Yes this means, you can use the module on any PowerShell 6
supported linux distribution. It's also possible to create a shared credential store and transfer it onto a another
platform like: `Windoww -- to --> Linux` and vice versa.
