suggestion: create a custom puppy linux distro that includes QB64PE out of the box
#14
I played around with Puppy Linux after reading this post (Bionic Pup 8.0 64bit). You need to be somewhat of a Linux specialist to get it up and running. You need to partition the drive yourself using Gparted during the install process, not difficult for someone that has had to do this in the past, but for new users to Linux it can be quite confusing.

After getting Puppy installed I tried to install the latest version of QB64PE. The installer first complained that it was attempting to install as root and exited. I edited the script to remove that check but the installer still failed to install QB64PE. It was getting late so I shelved the task for later. I'll try creating a user account and give the install another go.

Has anyone successfully gotten QB64PE to install in Puppy? If so, which version.
New to QB64pe? Visit the QB64 tutorial to get started.
