Hi,

More details on

https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KBA-000002876?language=en_US#Linux

and https://docs.sophos.com/esg/spl/en-US/support/ServerProtectionAgentDistributionKernelSupport/index.html

In particular: CentOS 7, CentOS Stream 8, Debian 10, Oracle Linux 7, RHEL 7 and Ubuntu 18.04 have now been retired from support.

Other distributions may work, but problems may only be investigated/fixed if reproducible on a distribution from the supported list. In particular Sophos Protection for Linux requires systemd as the init system. Arch Linux appears to use systemd by default so that may be ok.
