I downloaded the Linux build. I had to install the python-future package to run it. When it comes up it doesn't look like the linux example. In Windows there only 2 options on the menu bar: File, Radio and Help. In the example the same menu bar options are show. On my linux computer the menu options are the same as a normal CHIRP build: File, Edit, View, Radio and Help (example attached). The Loc numbers aren't centered in the column or bold. There are also not grid lines. It is almost like some kind of hybrid has been loaded.
I imagine you ran "chirpw" like normal, which will boot the old interface. Look for chirpwx.py right next to it and it should load it up. You will need to "python3 -mpip install wxPython" first, at least. Sorry I didn't mention that. But, now you see that the two UIs can co-exist for the time being at least.
I had to install pip3 first...
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Then when I attempted to install wxPython I got a "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'" error.

Any ideas?
