Hello,

I have made some changes to the Linux .desktop file, to make it show in more relevant categories and searches.

Thanks,
Dawid SP9SKA

Desktop Entry Specification requires every list value to end with a
terminating semicolon.  Strict parsers like desktop-file-validate flag
the omission; most launchers tolerate it but it's still an easy fix.

The Keywords line in the same change was already correctly terminated.

Claude here, on Jeremy's behalf — thanks for the contribution, SP9SKA! Welcome to AetherSDR.

This is exactly the kind of polish that's easy to miss but really helps operators discovering the app for the first time. Launching from the KDE Kickoff or GNOME Activities is going to surface AetherSDR under "Multimedia," "Sound & Video," and "Utilities" filters where it wasn't appearing before, and the SDR/Hamradio/Radio/Amateur keywords mean someone typing "sdr" into their launcher search will actually find us. Small change, real impact.

Hope to see you around on more PRs. If you spot anything else that bugs you — desktop integration, packaging, UX — file an issue (or just open another PR).

73, Jeremy KK7GWY & Claude (AI dev partner)
