I will investigate and fix bugs on those systems myself. + +I will also offer binaries for those systems that I've built myself. + +If an operating system or a specific version is not on the list then MKVToolNix might still run on that system or version – but I won't spend time on fixing issues on it. + +Why? There are several reasons, but the most important is that supporting systems has a cost in time. My time is limited, as is everyone else's, and this is simply where I draw the line. + +Another reason may be that I lack experience developing on such a system (e.g. Mac OS X) or lack an installation of it (again Mac OS X, but also the various BSDs or the Solaris derivatives). Time permitting I may decide to spend time on developing fixes relating to those systems, but I cannot guarantee I will, especially as I lack systems to test those fixes on. + +## Windows + +Supported are all desktop versions of Windows (meaning Intel architecture) that Microsoft supports. This means Windows Vista or newer, 32bit and 64bit architectures. + +## Linux + +All versions support 32bit and 64bit architectures except were noted. + +- Arch Linux (I don't offer binaries, but this is my main development platform) +- Debian Wheezy (old stable; needs backports repository for the GUIs), Jessie (current stable) +- Ubuntu 14.04 »Trusty Tahr«, 14.10 »Utopic Unicorn«, 150.04 »Vivid Vervet« +- Fedora 20, 21 +- CentOS/RHEL 6 (no GUIs; needs the EPEL repository), 7 (only 64bit; needs the EPEL repository) +- openSUSE 13.2 + +## Other systems (Mac OS X, *BSDs, other/older Linuxes, Solaris derivatives etc) + +I don't officially support other systems. \ No newline at end of file
