True .. I used the wrong terms
Usually it would come down to the distro doesnt have GTK pre-installed
I know you've helped folks out with that

However, not everyone is as conversant with Linux as you are (hell I'll admit I'm not)

Most folks just grab a distro, install it & use it and then complain about Xojo doesnt work ... and going into how to install GTK3 is just not fruitful
