    Hu? I can’t think of any software only running on ubuntu and not other distributions…

    Most of the time, the official website only tells you how to install on debian based distributions (either by recommending you to install a .deb manually (do not do that, plz) or by adding a source to apt (this is the correct way on debian based distros.)

    If on Arch, you most likely find the software you searching in the AUR, and on OpenSuse at https://software.opensuse.org/packages

    On fedora, you can either find a DNF source or find a rpm package. apparently, you can as well convert a deb file to a rpm file using alian.

    But to have the most compatible and most recent linux, I recommend using Arch with yay (AUR pkg-manager). Most easy way to get there, is to install EndeavourOS, since it preinstalls all you need to start your journey.

      I didn’t say it wouldn’t run, I said it doesn’t receive official support from the company that makes it. I have used this software on Fedora, but it doesn’t work quite right and they won’t help because they don’t officially support the distro. I want everything I use to work as well as possible, and if it doesn’t, I want to be able to tell the dev(s) and they will actually look into it at least rather than doing nothing at all.
