It does. It's Gnome (IIRC), rather than Linux, that traps the Alt key,
and not even all Gnome-based distros do, nor all configs. It depends on
the key bindings in place, which can potentially override any key. Or
none at all.
You're welcome to add a note in the User Comments section of that
Dictionary entry.
And of course if you feel strongly about it you can file a request to
have that elevated into the Dictionary proper, though to do that I'd
suggest finding an authoritative source outlining the specific use-cases
where it may apply.
