Check all operating systems you can think of and have access to—GNU/Linux, Windows, macOS on computers you might have access to, and Android or iOS on a phone or tablet—whatever you have access to or comes up in a web search. You don't have to test everything you find (especially if you don't have access to a device with the relevant OS), but do list everything you find.
