Didn't we fix those Kubuntu/Deadline crashes for you Frank? It's not really about what we support, just what we develop and test Nuke on. Because we use RHEL6, Centos5, Lion, Mavericks, Win 7, Win 10, etc. *your* experience using Nuke will be better - which, in the end, is what the team really cares about i.e we're not being lazy ;) . Some of us regularly use Fedora or Ubuntu, and increasingly more of us are switching to El cap so support for those should be pretty good, or improving at the very least.
But, we want to make Nuke as pleasurable an experience to use as possible so if you spot oddness with Nuke on "unsupported" OS's please let Support know. I personally have a suit of machine so the team can investigate such issues. F.
