May I ask why you need that many distributions? It really looks interesting.

Debian 9 for the Vagrant VM, because it was modern at the time (probably upgrading it to Debian 10 soon). Ubuntu 12.04 because that's what the Steam runtime uses, because it was modern at the time and upgrading while maintaining binary compatibility is Hard. Arch Linux because building a modern cross-compiler on Debian/Ubuntu is Hard.

What, did you want good reasons? :)
