Some of the commands say Windows only. For example EnableGraphicalConsole(): However, when used on Linux it enables positioning using ConsoleLocate() which is also marked Windows only. I am looking at the help that is accessed by choosing Help, Help in the Linux 6.03 LTS version of PureBasic. Perhap...

Even though the console commands are marked as Windows only in the documentation, they will work under Linux with Gnome Terminal from Ubuntu 22.04.

Much the same as the Fedora script I uploaded.

Tried to compile using pb 6.01 on Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon. Program compiles with both the asm and c backends. Will not run as user, will run as root. Errors running as root: (dd_x64:14891): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 12:58:13.542: cannot register existing type 'GtkWidget' (dd_x64:14891): GLib-GObject...
