Description

Sysbox is currently only supported in Ubuntu distribution. Our goal is to make Sysbox a distro-agnostic runtime, but for that to happen these distributions must be capable of running relatively-recent kernels, so that Sysbox's kernel dependencies can be met.

In Fedora's case (> 31) these dependencies are already satisfied (>= kernel 5.5); however, in CentOS and Redhat we may need to wait a bit longer (unless a user is willing to upgrade kernel w/o vendor support).

Leaving kernel compatibility aside, our goal with this EPIC is to keep track of the overall implementation effort that needs to be carried out for Sysbox to support these distributions.
