There's no obligation to support every distro on the planet.



If you’ve run an open source project you will get these bug reports. It’s also not obvious if it’s a bug in your code or a dependency many times so you’re going to want to debug it.

As an example alpine has a smaller default stack size. It’s not obvious if that stack overflow is expected or not.


Sure, you might get them. But you have the option to ignore them, preferably with a friendly message back to the reporter, stating that, say, Alpine Linux is currently not supported.
