Sure, if you're using dracut, which is not true for "Linux" in general.

Most Linux distros are not Arch either. It would be nice to have more support for this use case in general - like something one can configure easily during the initial OS setup.

I use OpenSuse so I had to use the guide for Fedora, but there were some differences as far as I remember.

Dracut is used by default on:

Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, Alma, Arch, and Gentoo

Dracut is available on:

Debian and Ubuntu

That covers most common Linux distros.

Personally, I'm using this on Fedora.

”Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, Alma” are all the same distro group: Enterprise Linux (EL). That it's ”available” on other distros is irrelevant, almost anything is ”available” as a non standard choice for any distro.
