I presented this as something that could affect how QB64PE is developed or set up. What I was trying to get at is that on some distros, many megabytes of "gcc" would have to be installed as well as "g++". It's not necessary on Slackware: the whole compiler shebang and other dependencies like "libglu" and "libcurl" and "libopenssl" (on Debian these last two are combined for some reason, and I don't know the precise names of the libraries).
I have never tried ZorinOS. Never will since now they follow Ubuntu closely and might not be able to remove those Snaps... might be enough for the user not to install the Ubuntu shop if he/she doesn't want Snaps. But that has nothing to do with "snapd" which would remain in memory.
I was going to try ZorinOS last year but I guess Kubuntu LTS "Jammy" stopped me LOL. It's because I discovered a way to make sure the ebil Snaps and their daemon aren't put back in ever after I took them off... and extra sure by remaining totally offline with this installation.
I like Ubuntu, but not the company that makes it. Right now cannot say the same thing about Fedora/Red Hat which failed me very hard this year while others like OpenSUSE and ROSA present themselves much better, although they are all slow, not really for budget laptops and fairly difficult to deal with if the user wants to install more programs.
Unity desktop environment turned out to be a good thing near the latest time, used to be considered a smack-down-their-Prodigy move. Who knows, maybe the Snaps might be a good thing. However, I don't like intrusive software installer/removers that look anything like the M$ store and are slow, inefficient and could crash. I uninstalled Pamac from Manjaro. Also had to do that, and the outrageous "snapd" from ArcoLinux. (shake head)
