What type of issue is this?

Optimization

A clear and concise description of the issue.

The Tailscale script in this repository performs necessary configuration changes to an LXC and installs Tailscale, but it currently only supports Debian-based distributions. Users attempting to use the script on unsupported distributions like Alpine Linux may experience failures or unexpected behavior.

To enhance clarity and avoid confusion for users, please update the Tailscale script with a note specifying the supported operating systems (Debian-based distributions) and explicitly mention that Alpine Linux is not supported.

This addition will improve the user experience by setting clear expectations upfront and reducing potential troubleshooting for unsupported environments.

Which browser are you using?

Firefox

If relevant, including screenshots or a code block can be helpful in clarifying the issue.

Please provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue.

I know that. But these scripts show a distribution selection in the beginning whereas the Tailscale script only asks which LXCs should be modified.
