There’s an extra double quote (") at the end of the command, that stray " causes the script to silently fail

Overview
This PR adds support for running the project in a Linux VM environment by implementing a Docker-based solution. This extends platform support beyond the previous implementation and makes the project more accessible to Linux users.
Once a Linux VM is created and/or started, Omnibox is able to talk to it.
Example
Changes
Added Docker-based implementation for running in a Linux VM
Updated README with Linux VM setup and usage instructions
Modified scripts to work with the Linux environment
Removed Windows-specific wording from documentation
Adjusted Python path references to be platform-agnostic
Motivation
Original project assumes Win11 only. This implementation provides a standardized environment using Docker that ensures a working Linux VM is available and receives the commands sent by
omnitool.Documentation
The README has been updated with:
Setup instructions for Linux users
Docker configuration details
Command examples specific to the Linux environment
