That's why I stick with Ubuntu (well Linux Mint actually). I have yet to run into a project or problem which didn't had instructions specifically for Ubuntu.

You can also explore building with Nix to be platform/distribution agnostic.

Isn't nix just for nixos?

Nope! I use Nix on macOS every day. I also use it on Ubuntu.

On Linux-based operating systems, you can even use `nix bundle` to create Docker images or fat binaries that end users can run without having Nix installed. (This relies on Linux user namespaces, which is why it's a Linux-only feature.)
