I think it's perfectly possible to use it, you'll just have to do some of the work yourself. The linked jetpack module seems to demonstrate that. Of course, if it's just a few utilities you need you might be able to `patchelf` most of them yourself.

According to the link Nvidia themselves have left the jetson behind, and from memory and a quick search it doesn't look like any other distros support it either.

The road not travelled has a cost.
