From 79c0c5c7c94328e437a23886e8a9849c25720ea9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Karlsson <35727626+dvdksn@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 09:19:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: clarify Sandboxes Linux support (fixes #25867) The Linux installation section appeared to apply to unsupported Ubuntu derivatives and described all release artifacts as binaries. Clarify the supported Ubuntu path, link to artifact instructions with a support disclaimer, and use apt for interactive package installation.
