Quick Poll : What Operating System used for FreeBASIC

OS you write code ... and OS you test code ... OS you target with Free Basic exe's

eg Win XP & Win 7


... Just to get a quick feel, circa year 2024, Thanks in advance.



I use Win XP for productivity (& System X : Bespoke Inhouse) ... Target = Win XP, Win 7 and Win 10 (mostly)

[deltarho[1859]]

Win10

[fxm]

Windows 10.

[srvaldez]

Windows 11

This type of question could be a trap
..so why you need to know?

For all exe's that I create (private or for work): Mostly developing on windows 11, for deployment Windows 10 is still important, but older Windows not.

In general at work we follow supported windows, sometimes with an year of lag to allow for laggards to transition. We don't actively prohibit older versions, but simply don't check/consider when upgrading.

With Free Pascal we are more conservative, we still generate XP compatible inno setup installers using an older version. It is sometimes used in the automation/PLC world where HMI PCs are often old.


(added later: some of the rationale and made clear I was talking about work, not FPC, added section on FPC)

Debian (sid), compiling for Linux and crosscompiling for Win

[Alecsis]

Win10 x64; target = Win 7, Win 10, Win11, sometimes WinXP

[demosthenesk]

win 11 devel
target: win11, dos, linux

Linux Mint is my daily driver. I target a lot of platforms though.

I test on:
Linux development rig
Linux gaming rig
Virtualized Windows 10 on development rig
wife's Windows 10 laptop
Raspberry PI 0 / 3 / 4

Occasionally, for small programs and for fun:
DOSBOX
Pentium 100mhz Packard Bell

[pidd]

Raspberry Pi OS
Win 11
Debian

Written on the target machine except Pi Zero is often written and tested on a Pi5
