Winnie de Pinguin schrijft (een laat verslag):

Ik bevestig dat Gambas perfect werkt op Linux Mint (Gambas versie 3 – v 2 niet gevonden in softwarebeheer, ook niet de runtime).
Gebruikt: menu, softwarebeheer. programmeren.

Gambas3
Complete visual development environment for gambas

Gambas is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions, like Visual Basic(tm) (but it is NOT a clone!). With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI, access MySQL or PostgreSQL databases, pilot KDE applications with DCOP, translate your program into many languages, and so on...

This package doesn't include anything: it is a metapackage to install the IDE and all the available Gambas components...
