Just from the Oracle installation, you will receive a message saying that the Linux distro is not supported by Oracle and then the Oracle SW can't be installed; that's one of the first checks that Oracle specifies on the Installation documentation, check that your OS is supported for Oracle DB.
Am sure there are tricks to force it, but you have no warranty on that.
Good luck!
