I'm afraid I'll never swap over to Linux. The biggest bonus I see for Windows is stability, documentation, and access to tons of APIs and existing code sources and examples. The *stuff* you can do with it is simply easier to do, and easier to code into your works. Take a look at QB64 itself, as an example. How many of our commands are Windows-only? What can you do in Windows that you can't do in Linux/Mac?
Why was it so much easier to add that functionality into the Windows version of QB64, than it is for someone to add into the Linux/Mac version?
Why do we find multiple examples of DECLARE LIBRARY "user32" stuff for Windows, and yet *NEVER* see something equivalent for Linux/Mac? The wiki has a whole page dedicated to Windows Library Code, but not a single entry for a Linux Library usage.
Say what you like about Linux vs Windows, until the above situation changes considerably, I honestly don't think there's any chance I'd ever migrate over to Linux.
