I am NOT a Linux or a Puppy Linux guru, but I am drawn to the idea of an self-contained OS that runs on a thumb drive, and comes prepackaged and preconfigured with a set of software to do a certain job (e.g., play emulated games, for artists, video production, robotics, etc.)
A Puppy Linux "QB64PE" distro would be pretty cool, especially for people who might be interested in testing their QB64PE programs in Linux but don't have the knowhow / time / patience to dive into Linux proper.
Anyway, I thought I'd share this link with anyone inclined to explore spinning off their own Linux distro...
PS Along those lines, there is at least one Puppy Linux distro - RasPup - made to run on Raspberry Pi.
A Raspberry Pi QB64PE distro would be pretty neat & useful!
Some reading:
If this gives someone a cool project to jump into, great.
If not, I won't lose any sleep, just thought I'd share that idea...
