Steam typically gives system requirements for its games.

For Moonlighter specifically, (Im using that game because it meets my example requirements and I assume you all have heard of it.)

For Moonlighter, its a linux compatible game. Its system requirements specify Ubuntu. So do i HAVE to use Ubuntu if I wanted to play that game?

Some games are linux compatible but dont specify which version of Linux, so does that mean I can use any version of Linux? Or is it also assuming im using Ubuntu?

Could I use Arch? Mint? Fedora? Does it care about what flavor of Linux i use?

Apologies for the stupid question.
