Windows or Linux

I download both 64 and 32-bit QB64 so I can run it on old PCs still running XP... But I also downloaded the Linux version to try with Puppy Linux when I get a chance. So it's hard to say exactly. If the stats show a unique IP address then we can get more detailed numbers about who uses what...

Make sure you stay with partitions formatted FAT32 or NTFS. (I haven't tested with the latter.) Also if you're going to use Puppy Linux, don't save documents into the "savefile" even if it's allowed. (A "savefile" is a special file treated like a whole file system, which is used into a FAT32 or other partition that cannot store Linux attributes such as "inode" and "executable" permissions.) If you ever save a file into a "disk" formatted as "btrfs" or "ext4", while using Puppy Linux, you might fumble with data file access permissions later using another Linux, while trying to copy that file someplace else. This happened to me a few times which is irritating. However, a distro such as Puppy (in my case Fatdog64 which has some differences from Puppy) tends to grant "root" permissions to begin with, while allowing the use of apps like Libreoffice, and doesn't protest when the user saves a document to a disk regardless of how that disk is formatted. This is just in case you, or any other user wants to go further using Linux, that it could be a pain different from Windows about copying files from one labelled disk to another.

This is a trap even if you use Wine, that's why "winetricks" in particular refuses to work if it senses you're trying to run it as superuser.
