[Feature]: Playwright support on rocky linux

[prc1234]

🚀 Feature Request

Currently playwright is supported on Debian 11, Debian 12, Ubuntu 20.04 or Ubuntu 22.04.
With rocky Linux gaining popularity across the globe, will playwright be supported on it as well?

Example

Currently on installing playwright on rocky linux following message is displayed:
BEWARE: your OS is not officially supported by Playwright; downloading fallback build for ubuntu20.04-x64.

In our organization rocky linux would be the officially used OS , hence we would need support for playwright on rocky linux

Motivation

As rocky linux OS is gaining popularity due to it being stable, secure and cost effective. organizations are now looking upon rocky linux as the alternative to RHEL hence playwright support on rocky linux would help with usage.

@prc1234 There are no plans for the official support. Do ubuntu20.04-x64 binaries work on Rocky linux? I assume it does not.

Take a look at #9199. There are some solutions that might work for you, for example this one.

Perhaps some other officially supported binary might work for you? We have a mapping from some linux distributions to supported browser binaries, so if there is one you can use, we are open to add a mapping for rocky linux as well.

(There is also #26482 which we recommend for unsupported OSes.)

Thank you for the response. Am trying to get a rocky linux with the required packages and check which option will work. Will revert back on this thread when there is some update. Thanks Puja

Hi Gozman, Could you please help with the mapping for rockylinux8. Playwright python is missing multiple libraries due to which it is kind of unusable. Could you please suggest a way forward here. We are using this OS: NAME="Rocky Linux" VERSION="8.9 (Green Obsidian)" ID="rocky" ID_LIKE="rhel centos fedora" VERSION_ID="8.9" PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8" PRETTY_NAME="Rocky Linux 8.9 (Green Obsidian)" ANSI_COLOR="0;32" LOGO="fedora-logo-icon" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:rocky:rocky:8:GA" HOME_URL="https://rockylinux.org/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.rockylinux.org/" SUPPORT_END="2029-05-31" ROCKY_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Rocky-Linux-8" ROCKY_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="8.9" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Rocky Linux" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="8.9" Thanks in advance Puja

@prc1234 Unfortunately, I am not a linux expert, so won't be able to help here. I'd recommend asking community for help.
