+## Linux
-Arch Linux is not an officially supported operating system, but many of our users have run it, and there are a few pitfalls to watch out for.
+Given the diversity of Linux distributions, some work-arounds are required to run Binary Ninja on platforms that are not [officially supported][faq].
+
+### Arch Linux
- Install python2 from the [official repositories][archrepo]
- Install the [libcurl-compat] library from AUR, and run Binary Ninja via `LD_PRELOAD=libcurl.so.3 ~/binaryninja/binaryninja`
+### KDE
+
+To run Binary Ninja in a KDE based environment, set the `QT_PLUGIN_PATH` to the `QT` sub-folder:
+
+```
+cd ~/binaryninja
+QT_PLUGIN_PATH=./qt ./binaryninja
+```
+
