If your work requires a Linux distro installed on your laptop (a team member endpoint system) by any means, including virtualization, that it must be on the below GitLab Approved List. It will be your responsibility to maintain your Linux environment with security patching and version upgrades to stay compliant with the list.
The list of Linux versions below is based on what our EDR platform supports. Deployment of the EDR solution is required on team member endpoint systems and virtual machines.
Linux versions are therefore limited to:
Note: Mint and PopOS are not officially supported by our EDR vendor, but team members have had success with getting the tools to run on those. As of 2023-02-15, new hires should not choose these distros and instead choose one of the officially supported Linux distros. We encourage all team members to migrate to an officially supported distro for long-term support.
Further details are available at the Linux Tools & Tips page.
