Got a compiler for C++ and can use it...
I also have a link to Arduino and Onion
Arduino comes with it compiler C++ and uploaded
Onion works from a desktop in browser - it has its own C++ compiler.
Onion is wireless on chip and smaller than Arduino but Linux.
I agree..with "All the distros should be able to run it, write it and compile it..."
Its day-to day running of Linux is my steep learning curve...has few discrepancies between releases which I need to learn.
Lucky for me Bill Gates used lots of commands in his Dos and Shell so my learning is not going to be that hard. I have used C++ for few years - big problem there is API - knowing them. But I learned that if one can open a "black" window ( terminal ) lots of tasks can be automated - I work from that window - less overheads. Its one of the reasons I am going to use Onion its Distro is opened in a browser an not a terminal.
Thank you for your time and advice.
