Title: QB64 Linux on Windows using WSL2!
Post by: SpriggsySpriggs on October 22, 2020, 09:49:37 pm: Following this tutorial (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10)) and this tutorial (https://medium.com/@japheth.yates/the-complete-wsl2-gui-setup-2582828f4577 (https://medium.com/@japheth.yates/the-complete-wsl2-gui-setup-2582828f4577)) I was able to get Linux Ubuntu installed on my home Windows 10 PC and successfully build QB64! Not only that, but I was also able to build Fellippe's Among Us clone AND successfully join the server to play! Note, WSL2 will have GUI capability added in the future BUT this is a workaround right now and it works great!

I have installed WSL 2 too and an openSuSE Leap 15.2 is running now - but only the command line for exercises in C. I like Vim . . . ;)

I would have there a question.

So we can have the Windows version run on Linux, and the Linux version run on Windows \o/
