Maybe also think about documenting the version that is used to test up to. For example I gave up building RTEMS tools on my home Arch Linux machine because it is broken every single time due to the rolling release versions.

Maybe it would be good to select a number of distributions that are used for official tests (the ones that are hopefully used in a CI at some point) and use the package versions provided by them? There are more dependencies (like llvm) that can be defined by these distributions. For a user who wants to set up a development VM or a container, it would make it simpler to pick a distribution. For everyone else who uses a distribution based on personal preference, it's no difference to what we have now: For some packages, some workarrounds are necessary to get a working version.
