Personally I'd just respond to stuff like that with "Sorry, but that's a very obscure combination, and as a single indie dev I unfortunately don't have the bandwidth to support that, I can send you a refund if you want".

As long as you're nice about it and don't turn it in to a bland cookie-cutter "corporate" response most people will understand.

As someone who just runs Linux, and occasionally runs some games on it, I'm always a bit annoyed when people report these kind of very specific bugs with old/weird drivers/distros that aren't in the supported platforms list. It turns developers off for completely understandable reasons. It's a shame, because for most people it does usually work.

I run Void Linux, it almost always works, but I'd never report these kind of bugs without testing Ubuntu (or whatever is supported) first.
