I cannot speak to that at this time. I do not have an Ubuntu etc image spun up to test. We could denote that the above commands were specifically tested on Fedora. This should cover a large install base. I believe there is value if we can assist a segment of the user base (anyone who is using Fedora/binary copy of fedora).

## Why is it named Joplin?

The application is named in honour of composer and pianist [Scott Joplin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Joplin), whose music I frequently listen to. His name is also easy to remember and type, making it a fitting choice.
