13 yo "Vibe Coding" on Raspberry Pi and Arduino
We searched for other IDEs that would be simple to use, allow easy import of Arduino libraries, and upload the code on the board. I wanted something of the like of Atom editor, but it was not supported on Raspberry Pi (and deprecated now). We found that PlatformIO could be an option. It is a plugin in VSCode that can manage many type of boards. We went ahead, installed VScode, then the PlatformIO extension. We opened a terminal in VScode with Q chat, and voila! Valentin could finally continue to play with a more stable solution. He had a simple way to code, compile, and push code on the Arduino.

It's 2023 why embedded development is so cumbersome?(rant)
Check out Zephyr OS and Platform IO. Zephyr is part of the Linux foundation and has similarities to Linux with how it performs hardware abstraction (device tree). Platform IO integrates with other frameworks including mbed and Arduino.

Do you know some sbc or soc that can be programed to run rtos and c++ on top?
Look into https://platformio.org/, it can abstract over a few RTOSes, and can show you which OSes work with which chips/boards.

Newbie question on identifying board in IDE
If the HW looks like it works, you could also try alternate programming software. (e.g. TinyGo or PlatformIO)

Issue with Adafruit ESP32-S3: COM port switching, etc.
You might have better luck with PlatformIO than the Arduino IDE; it's better at automatically choosing the serial port, though I can't say I've used it under Windows.
