If you need Maya to work seamlessly on Linux, you should use the distro recommended by Autodesk (e.g [https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-Autodesk-Maya-2023.html RHEL/CentOS/Rocky] for Maya 2023). However, it's possible to install Maya on other distros by applying various hacks which we discuss here.
