Thumbs Up

However I did use it allot when I was using Windows up until I changed over to Linux. Great work to the development team for all you hard work. Smile
Boy you took the plunge! You're better than me then, I could do no better than Manjaro. Tried EndeavourOS, had to go online while installing to get the desktop environment I wanted, it's OK but I wanted to avoid the AUR on something not Arch itself.

I think if a program is ported from QB45 or BASIC PDS v7.1, or an early version of Visual Basic or maybe even Freebasic 32-bit then it might be too much in favor of Windows. But writing from scratch in recent time shouldn't matter if the app should be for Windows or for Linux. It's a matter of scrutiny about path names, locations of important files, assuming libraries installed on the system, to use regular expressions instead of BASIC string functions for parsing and more.
