I don't even need that much. For me it would be great if companies just specify which distro they use to compile/test their binaries. Why is it so hard to give that info?

More often than not I get some really long lists instead: We support distro A in version X,Y and Z, ..., distro B in Version X, X2, X3, ..., ... I try 2 or 3 of those combination and they don't really work. Eventually after 2 or 3 more tries, something works but if I had above information, I'd just start a VM with the known working distro after the first failure.

You can be sure that any software that starts listing off specific supported distros is going to be a nightmare to run. Usually because they've dynamically linked some outdated and obscure lib from the distro repos.
