If you have a specific preferred Linux distro for VMs, I can spin one up real quick, install & set everything and dump the history file for you.
Be aware that it can start up fine with missing dependencies and then crash when you try to e.g. open the camera or do something else in the simulator. Wink

That's why I bring it up.

Thanks for the offer! I may take you up on it, but usually I prefer to compile these types of things myself.

Oh yes, I was not going to upload an ISO or something like that; I thought to just post the commands, similar as in my full node install guide.

I learned how to compile binaries from source back when Electrum was implementing Lightning, and I didn't have the patience to wait until they released the new version. I won't say I'm anywhere near an expert on it, but I don't mind fumbling around until I figure it out.

As for distros, I still prefer Ubuntu Minimal for Desktop environments, but lately I've been partial to Debian for my servers.

Sounds good! It's definitely best for security, as well. Then there's no worry about reproducible build or not; you just build directly from source, so you know you're running the latest upstream code and nothing else.

Alright; I may do it later today with Ubuntu VM and post an update.
