From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I mainly use Python, so my workflow is the same on every OS: Neovim and a shell, usually one of each in a vertical split. This transfers nicely to remote SSH sessions too, and even works in Termux on my phone!
Have you investigated whether it's possible to test your cross-compiled builds in Qemu, rather than copying them to the host?
It's possible to use QEMU, but since my primary goal is to use the hardware (GPIO, ADCs, SPI, etc.), it isn't as useful for me in that case since I want to physically interact with the board. There is certainly a point where I will use QEMU more, but for the moment, it's not practical.
