That was my main concern with that requirement was package formatting. So flatpaks, docker (meh), pip, something that may already exist in the repos, or running it in a virtual machine as a backup option, but that fucked me over recently. My distro has a large software repo, but doesn't always play nice with all the packaging formats out there such as appimages.

Stop overthinking it? The daemons are what get you there, not necessarily the OS, and those are generally supported across all of the distros available out there.
