Suggestion for a new distro.

Hi, I'm rather new to programming, and I have an idea for a new distro of puppy linux that is integrated with C++ or python or whatever makes sense. You see, they have engines based on C++ like UE4, because the language runs really fast and is versatile. So my idea basically combines the concept of a gaming engine with that of an operating system. So say you have several pieces of hardware running on your system—a microphone is one piece. But it's really hard for a programmer running C++ to extract data from that microphone without advanced knowledge of how the microphone interacts with the driver etc. Or say we want to use the microphone on an iphone over wifi on a home intranet. I'm not a spy or anything; I just mean as you would for a home recording studio. And if you could do this with several peripherals—not just microphones, I think that the result would be a highly dynamic computer.
