Well, looking at...

...I'd say they are a bit light on information. But, judging by "Windowsfx natively brings the Edge browser, Teams, Skype, PowerShell, Office Online, Code and more" on the page, I'd say they probably have Wine (https://www.winehq.org/) pre-installed.

My best guess is that there's no upside to using that distro, apart from if you prefer the Windows UI, than it is to using some established Linux distribution with a well-configured Wine installation. Best option for most people is probably to install Ubuntu and then follow one of the well-made guides posted in the forum to get some parts of B4X up and running. And even that won't give you the full B4X experience, if I remember correctly.

For what it's worth: I'm a fairly hardcore fulltime Linux user. Even so, I have invested in a Windows computer that only runs B4X (and some small related devtools), that I connect to from my Linux workstation using RDP. My Linux machine is rock solid. I have neither the time nor the patience to jump through hoops to get B4X working in an environment it wasn't designed for.

I am not Linux user at all, would like to dabble with it etc, just found this article this morning when reading the news, thought it might be of interest to the Linux users on the forum, since a few have asked for B4X IDE for Linux.

Yes... interesting... but i never going to use "a" system for "personal or business" that emulated by other system and developed/embeded/patched by an internet user that I don't know... says it is safe... but who is this guy saying ? (sorry, but I don't know him)...

Are you going to use internet banking, credit cards or using your codes for b4x forums... Me nooo :)

Ubuntu, Debian, MS Windows, Mac OS... to be sure... and know who gonna complaint-lawsuit...

For fan and testing ... Yes...
