You're talking a desktop distro or you're referring to mainframe Linux?
I'm talking a desktop distro. There are people using various desktop distros happily enough and the DeACSM plugin just makes their lives easier. I'm also using it under Windows 11 since it allows me to test downloads as various ADE versions just to see if I get the newer hardened Adobe DRM.

As somewhat of a disclaimer, I run various Linux distros on my laptop using VMWare for Workstations Pro (currently VMWare Photon, SUSE Tumbleweed, Mint 20.2 and Arch Linux, not to mention a couple of Windows versions and a Mac VM). The Linux boxes I use for work are servers running as VMs on VMWare ESXi hosts.
