Knoppix. This one is unique, so unique it comes with Wine v5 which might help fill in all the dependencies to build QB64PE.
The problem is that 32-bit QB64PE is built!
It means that if you create an executable file with the QB64PE compiler from that system, which will be 32-bit, then copy it to a 64-bit-only system that user's program file would refuse to run unless there is a "multilib" arrangement. So beware and use at your own risk.
Not saying the distro is bad. Knoppix is a 64-bit operating system. It's weird in places and it's not meant to be cutting-edge. It could be taken seriously, unlike what some people think, but it hasn't been updated in 1-1/2 years. It has something which works like persistence, like a "savefile" but it's transparent to the user. (Porteus, Puppy and a few others might be better allowing a "fresh start" or "load into RAM.") Processing could be slow because it compressed all programs it comes with to save disk space. The "knoppix" account has "sudo" privileges but one doesn't have to provide the password, because it's not possible to know what is the password. It comes with a lot of games LOL. Because the OS package was supposed to fill in a whole single-sided DVD, it comes with three desktop environments, LXDE (which it fires up at first), GNOME and KDE. A source of confusion is multitude programs like file managers and compressed-archive managers, but just choose one that is suitable. That said, LXDE file manager feels buggy like Thunar. Hate GNOME and have some problems on my computer trying to display Plasma, which forced me to ditch Ubuntu Studio a few months ago.
The "qb64pe" executable, on Knoppix when it's processed by "readelf" program lists the same libraries which are "NEEDED"; however those libraries are 32-bit on this OS. I don't know how to convince "apt" to enable "multilib" or install 64-bit versions of those libraries so it could create "qb64pe" 64-bit binary and the QB64PE compiler also creates 64-bit executable files.
Don't be scared off by what is said here and in other places. Grab the DVD image and burn it onto a 16GB or 32GB external USB disk and go about your business with it. Note that you won't be able to use the rest of the disk for eg. FAT32 partition that WIndows could recognize.
