I'm a computer engineer student and I'am having problems with my new project:
It's been 1 month with my Raspberry pi and I can't find a solution for my main problem: A simple linux distro with really fast boot and the possibility to develop applications with graphical interfaces
My main evolutions on my project were:
I just need a direction to what I need to do to get this working. If I get a simple user interface starting with less than 10 seconds I can consider my project done.
I think that the RPi-BuildRoot is a Great tool that I am not finding a way through it...
Thank you! And sorry for poor english ;)

While not originally designed as a platform for commercial products, the low cost and wide availability of the Raspberry Pi makes it suitable for many embedded applications if you're aware of its limitations and avoid some potential pitfalls.
The Pi is definitely a suitable device for learning Linux on, although a lot of the work of booting it from the bare metal is done for you. One can choose to run a distro which is more desktop in flavor or a configuration more embedded in flavor.
Open IDLE by selecting the Raspberry Pi logo in the top-left, and click Programming > Python 3 (IDLE). You should be presented with the Python interactive interpreter. To write a program, go to File > New File. Enter in your code.
rpi-buildroot gives you a really basic default configuration. It already gives you the OpenGL library, but you have to configure it to add anything more.
So after building the first time, do
make xconfig
and navigate through it to find the graphical libraries that you want to use. For instance, you can enable qt5 and qt5declarative in the Graphic libraries and applications menu, and then you get QML. See the buildroot documentation and QML documentation
