PureBasic Linux on VMware Fusion Desktop

Post by TI-994A »

Quick question, for those in the know.

Following the recent announcement by Broadcom, that all VMware Fusion and Workstation products will now be available for free to personal users, I have been experimenting with the macOS ARM version (for Silicon chipsets), successfully installing and running Win11 and Ubuntu v24/v25 on the Fusion hypervisor.

However, while PureBasic v6.12 x64 appears to be working well on the Win11/ARM virtual machine (so far), it does not seem to be working on any versions of Ubuntu/ARM.

Safe to say that PureBasic does not (yet) support Linux on ARM?

Hi Fred and @mk-soft. Thank you for the suggestions.

The Raspberry PI version seems to work well on Ubuntu v24.10 running inside a Fusion virtual machine on an M1 Mac. :D
