Quote:/opt Directory for storing second-tier software packages installed by system users.From:

I feel I have to discuss this. In the past QB64 was very much married to its "home" directory; all programs created by the compiler were placed in the same level as "qb64.exe" on Windows. There has been an attempt to take the programming system away from that. This is where this "/opt" thing could make sense. Otherwise it is not recommended on Linux to install QB64PE to that directory unless you know what you're doing. Install instead to a directory somewhere inside your regular user's account, like "$HOME/(username)/qb64pe". Running stuff only as "root" is dangerous, it's like how users were permitted pretty much in WindowsXP and earlier and therefore M$ felt they had to restrain them starting with UAC. Linux offers absolutely no protection from "accidental" installation nor removal of programs for "root" user. To install to "/opt", must have "root" permission which is the reason why I'm saying that. I don't like having to type in my password over and over to get one thing done, I don't know about you guys.
Maybe I could have erased most of what is said above, because the "qb64pe/internal/temp" and other directories would have to be moved. If QB64PE were installed to "/opt" they will also need "root" permission at least temporarily, for the regular user trying to use the product.
No LOL I'm not suggesting Peropesis OS, this is very small and basic (no GUI, no window manager and no graphical web browser) and would need to be bloated impressively so it supports QB64PE.
