Some days ago during hurricane Maria's passing, my Windows computer died through a blackout caused by our Electric Utility Company. they made up an excuse saying it was a lightning strike but I assure you it was not, since there was none during that day and as I live not to far from the facility.
Therefore I had to build another WINDOWS computer. Luckily I had one laying around so I put in some spare parts and now its up and running. I installed Windows 7 OS, Game Maker 6, 8 as well as Game Maker Studio 1.4 portable as well as a few other applications.........NeoPaint as my graphics editor, LibreOffice 5 as my productivity suite and ENIGMA portable.
A few days after my Linux Desktop computer began acting weird, lagging, certain project files not working properly on linux but working fine in Windows. So I decided it would be a good opportunity to test some other LINUX distros and see if ENIGMA would work on them.
The first on my list was LINUX Mint one the most popular. No luck there. I even tried an older version but the repositories did not exist anymore. the next on my list was OpenSuse which, failed miserably. There were no rpm packages for certain dependencies, so that also was a bust.
Next up was a much newer distro called FEREN Linux. It's a relatively new distro coming out with its latest version sometime in August this year. I downloaded the 64bit version and got no problems installing it. However when I ran ENIGMA, a familiar error message about not finding 'compileEGMf' popped up. Incidently, when I test ENIGMA on a 64bit OS, I get this error. However on a 32Bit OS, that error doesn't appear.
The one which I ended up is called MAUI LINUX. It is based on KDE NEON and UBUNTU with the PLASMA Desktop. In fact i am writing this on the same Maui Linux and so far it is impressive. I have yet to get any major errors on the 64bit version I am using. So for the next few days I will be testing this.
