Explicitly Unsupported (Linux-Affinity-Installer)

Linux-Affinity-Installer's maintainer explicitly does not support these, and recommends their AppImage instead if you use them anyway:

• Bazzite: immutable filesystem, specialized gaming distribution.
• Manjaro: known stability issues.

This project's own methods don't have a blanket statement against either distro. If you've tried Wine/Lutris/Heroic/Bottles/Rum on Bazzite or Manjaro, please report your result so we can fill in this table.
