+## Please report issues
 
-The `arm64` / `aarch64` architecture includes support for Tegra-based systems.
+Our qualification-testing procedures are constantly evolving and we might miss
+certain problems. Please
+[report](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit/issues) issues in
+particular as they occur on a platform listed above.
 
-1. For Amazon Linux 2023 on Arm64, a `g5g.2xlarge` Amazon EC2 instance was used for validation.
-   The `g5g.xlarge` instance caused failures due to the limited system memory.
 
+## Other Linux distributions
+
+Releases may work on more platforms than indicated in the table above (e.g., on distribution versions older and newer than listed).
+Give things a try and we invite you to [report](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit/issues) any issue observed even if your Linux distribution is not listed.
