>> I'm very wary of keeping mentions of Fedora anywhere. While community devs do play with it from time to time and chat about its setup in IRC, etc., 1) we removed it officially from all the install READMEs specifically because we do not actively maintain support, 2) Fedora's support cycle for their releases is far shorter than Evergreen's, so it has been difficult to keep in sync, and 3) as is, Fedora dependencies have not been fully updated in many years and it cannot work out of the box on any release today without serious changes that are not documented anywhere I know (yet).<br>

A re-phrasing is probably appropriate along the lines of "debian and ubuntu are officially supported, fedora is also used by some of the community." We don't need to echo the release notes since it's a FAQ here, IMO so long as we're clear what the answer to the asked question should be.<br>

I think it just say something to the effect of the staff client is web based and does not require a separate application to be installed. Mention hatch as optional and what it does since that is a thing now.<br>
