Have you tried compiling in a docker container on a PC. This is the easiest way to make a portable build environment which you can share to make it easy for others to build on your work. It also makes a formal terse set of instructions which can be used as a basis for building natively.
No, I haven't tried that yet. I'm still trying to understand how the whole process works. Once I get more comfortable with the build process myself; I might try Docker. Thanks for the suggestion!
In 1993 on MS-DOS you only had to install 2 disks 1.44 mb with binairies. In 2025 on Linux you need to jump through so many hoops. just to get something going. Don't get me wrong I have a multiple Pi's and a Linux based phone system but why is everything in Linux so painfull to achieve.
It supports a plethora of hardware and different environments with the many configs of this, that, and the other. I remember using about 20 3.5" floppies to install Win95. Then XP hit and was trash until SP4 dropped. I found Fedora before the fix and NVidia drivers worked when I compiled them myself. But it was just as much of a headache with Linux as it was with Windows. Only difference I see is you control the issues better than with Windows or Apple. Always been a pick your poison type of thing. I'm suprised linux got this far with all the different intersts in the mix. Not hopeful for the next 5 years tho.
I tried to compile for the RP2350 using Windows and it was equally painful. The bulk of my experience is with Windows, but there is sometime to be said for the raw experience with Linux. I remember when they talked about selling computers in Department Stores (late seventies). I was agast that "they" would trust mere mortals with computers. Windows evolved to serve the needs of those mortals. Linux is more like the old days where you have to control everything yourself. We live in great times where we have a choice.
Hmmm... I thought Linux was doing well with more apts bring released all the time. Of course, AI may render all these operating systems obsolete in a few years. WARNING Will Robinson!
@@SlinkyD You are comparing installing a OS with installing a application. I expect a binairy just to run on the OS. Windows also supports a huge amounts of systems. (Linux more true). But doesn't require this. Windows 95 and XP (Win95 shipped on cd-rom. By that time we had cd-rom drives so I have never seen the 20+ floppies for the installer.). I am running Windows based systems since 1993 Win 3.11 for workgroups. Both home and work.
Thank you David, for answering if the Pico 2 can run Doom ;D
A burning question; no doubt. ;D Thanks for watching!

Perhaps use a Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W? 16MB of flash!!! Cheers!
That would definitely work! Thanks for watching.
Impressive.
Kilograham did a great job with his port of Doom. Thanks for watching!

I dont wanna play doom2 anywhere, just choose a better game..
I wouldn't know. I'm not a game aficionado; I'm more intrigued with the guts of the game than with the actual game play. Thanks for the comment!
