The Service Provider is written in fairly portable C++ with dependencies on a mixture of C and C++ libraries, and is in principle buildable on most Operating Systems, but we provide official support for only the platforms below at this time, which also correspond to the exact platforms for which we produce some form of official packaging.

...

We officially support the following Linux distributions:

  • Red Hat Enterprise and CentOS 7, 8

We will be officially supporting the following Linux distributions for a period of time in 2021:

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12SP5

Support for OpenSUSE itself has essentially ended because a third party has produced packages for the SP that are included with that OS, so our full support is limited to the older official versions for which we provided packages. We have learned that SUSE 12 also includes some version of our software and we prefer not to conflict with native packages, so we will likely phase out production of our packages now that 12 is itself far out of date relative to both OpenSUSE and SUSE.

...

We also partially support the following Linux distributions through our support options for Consortium members:

  • Debian

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and OpenSUSE

In practice, we do not simply ignore bug reports or questions about these, and other, distributions since the majority are of general applicability, but there are cases where more esoteric bugs are in fact limited to a platform and that is something we take into consideration. We offer members a higher degree of tolerance for questions and issues requiring deeper investigation on these partially-supported platforms.
