@dragonchaser pointed out to me that, according to our requirements, we currently support all Linux distributions.

However, there are so many offshoots that are different that perhaps we should define the distributions we definitely support and explicitly state them in the requirements.

puh, idk - yes, we can do that - @dragotin would the following make sense or would you specify it in another way? Itbh I just wrote something that made sense to me with the goal to be more concrete on the requirements, i.e.:

OS & Kernel requirements

  • Kernel: ≥ 5.14+
  • glibc: ≥ 2.4+
  • Architectures: x86_64, arm64
  • Systemd: Required on host

Linux Distributions

  • SLES / OpenSUSE 15.4+
  • Debian 12
  • RHEL 9
  • AlmaLinux 9+, Rocky Linux 9+
  • Ubuntu 22.04

I would not put it into the official and public docu. It changes that fast, and with documenting we would also have a obligation to run tests on all that platforms.

For paying customers, it should be part of the planning if their Linux distro is supported, and which requirements we have, such as LTS, kernel etc. For that we might need an internal checklist.
