In the website https://www.google.com/get/noto/help/cjk/
there is a "recommended use" flowchart made by Dr. Ken Lunde. It only mentioned Windows and Mac and has too simple/conservative recommendation for "other" systems. Since Noto CJK fonts (both Sans and Serif) are/will be very popular in free software environments, it is worth mentioning them explicitly (Linux can be used as a good example) as well. To my understanding, since Pango library has perfect support for Opentype layout tables, "super OTC" is supported.

Yes, I thought about that today, too. It's a bit tricky because there are so many Linux distros. However, virtually all Linux distros should be able to support either per-weight TTC or all-in-one superOTC because they have a recent-enough version of FreeType and fontconfig.

Although not reflected in the flowchart, we (Adobe) point Linux/Unix users here in terms of font installation.
