Define doc providing guidance on Linux distros #5063

Open mthalman opened 9 months ago

mthalman commented 9 months ago

Now that we have public Mariner support, there are four Linux distros:

There should be guidance for users to understand which distro they should choose to meet their needs. This should include pros/cons associated with each one as well as associated support and lifecycle info.

Related to this, the supported platforms doc needs to be updated to include Mariner.

This should include pros/cons

I'm not sure we're responsible for doing this. Does another project do this in a way we find compelling? I think our stance should be: "Hey ... we support four distros. If there's one you like, that's good news!"

mthalman commented 1 month ago

We've certainly made recommendations about which to select in regards to size and security though, right?

richlander commented 1 month ago

Fair. However, I think that was easier in the past (before chiseled). It's now more about form factor than distro, IMO.
