Updating list of supported operating systems

Eric Rubin requested to merge updated-approved-operating-systems into master

Why is this change being made?

This change is being made to update the existing list of supported operating systems. In particular, for Linux workstations, this list will provide enhanced asset management and security for those systems, which aren't currently being protected by our EDR solution.

We would target all users to be on a supported distribution by October 31, 2022, to allow for testing and deploying of the EDR agent before end of 2022.
