+Feather is developed primarily on Linux, but can also be built on macOS. Development on Windows is not currently supported.
+
+We support development on rolling release distributions and the latest version of Ubuntu. Building on older stable distributions is not guaranteed to work.
 
 ## Setting up a development environment
 
 ### Dependencies
 
-Note: Feather requires Qt 6.3 or later. Make sure your distro's package manager provides this version. 
-If not, it is recommended that you install Qt manually using the online installer, which can be found here:
-https://www.qt.io/download (under open-source).

 We recommend using Jetbrains Clion for Feather development. It integrates nicely with CMake and comes with a built-in
 debugger. 
 
-To pass CMake flags to CLion, go to `File->Settings->Build->CMake`, set Build Type to `Debug` and set your
-preferred CMake options. If you installed Qt using the online installer you may have to add 
-`-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/qt/installation` in the CMake options. More CMake options are documented below.
