Hey thanks, Steve. Appreciate it. Well, I tried it. Wouldn't accept a password, I thought I must have forgotten it, so just re-installed Linux Mint. This time however I allowed an internet connection when installing. It must have downloaded extra packages when installing this time, because I just ran the QB64 setup again and it worked! Can't seem to resize the IDE font yet, but I'll play around with it.
Pretty amazed with Linux Mint so far. It loads quick and runs smooooth. Sure beats the Win10 the laptop came with.
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Ahh, I just figured out, I have to type 'sudo' before 'su' to go root. That's why it wouldn't take a password. Also I copied the lucon.ttf to the qb64 dir and now I can resize the IDE font ok.
