Which is the best basic compiler for emacs? I am on debian... sudo apt install ???

It seems most people that use Emacs to edit BASIC code use some kind of old-home-computer-emulator to run the code. If you are not interested in that I would suggest trying FreeBASIC. It is available for Linux, but the installation procedure is somewhat more complicated than running "sudo apt install". FreeBASIC is backwards compatible with QuickBASIC 4.5, which is supported by basic-mode.
