You sure as hell can, because distros love to break application compatibility as often as possible. It's basically the official sport of the Linux Desktop. It's 2018 and it's still basically impossible to distribute an application that will run on any Linux Desktop because of all the fragmentation.
But that's ok, because you can just release your application as open source and find some volunteers to maintain packages for it for all 200 distributions.
Even Linus recognizes what a goddamned shitshow application distribution is on Linux.
