Every time I read something about "distro" (e.g. the tag "distro-specific") in our Issues I'm confused. In that case I assume that is not for upstream and should thrown back to the distro maintainer and the ticket system there.
Maybe this is a good Issue to learn for me why "distro-specific" tag is useful for us. Why? ;)
Well, different distros have different defaults and conventions. It could be that some problem exists only on Wayland, but not X11. In that case, if a report mentions a Wayland-default distro, we have a hint. Also, there are different conventions about install paths, config locations, there could be different Qt versions etc. And rolling-release distros like Arch and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed are more likely to have the latest versions of python, rsync, Qt etc. So the goal is not to deal with the distro-packaging etc., but to identify failure conditions more easily based on the properties of the affected distros.
