Support doesn't have to be based on a specific distro. It isn't for any of the other ports that support us.

When you promise support, you have to take responsibility when it doesn't work.

You can promise support for ’xyz’ distro and advertise that which is what Larian is doing however, if they said they supported Debian for example than that would open a whole can of issues as a lot of distributions are Debian based.

Would be nice to have Debian and Arch be the foundation for Linux based game development and make that the standard throughout all the other distros like SteamOS, LinuxMint or PopOS. Fedora is kinda in their own world I suppose.
