Ubuntu 20.04 and later supports this, and, since that's LTS, it means that quite a few servers and machines will be supporting it already.

Github/Gitlab aren't supporting it yet, but given how great it is for security, I think they have a big incentive to speed up support.

That's no problem, since you can just generate an ECDSA key instead, but yes, not all keys have hardware support for all algorithms.

Debian 11 too, out of the box. It took a bit of work to use a newer openssh-client on my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop, but that was manageable.
