The codename check fails clearly and immediately on an unsupported system, instead of falling through to a confusing apt dependency error partway into the install.

Supported distributions

Each codename below is built and smoke-tested natively against that distro's own toolchain and libraries (not one binary built once and shipped everywhere), so the package always depends on whatever runtime libraries actually exist there.

Requires a 64-bit OS (dpkg --print-architecture → amd64 or arm64).
