Distros with Free Basic?
Distros with Free Basic?
Are there any Linux distros that include Free Basic in their repositories in 2025?
Re: Distros with Free Basic?
Arch Linux has it in their Extras repository.
Even if distros include FB, the problem is that the package has to be maintained by someone to ensure it's built and runs properly. Takes a ton of work to maintain a package for your distro of choice. I guess that's part of the impetus for things like Flatpak. Allow the actual software developer to put out an image (with fixed dependencies) that they know works. But compilers are different beasts altogether as far as dependencies go, which are highly variable.
