The way your post was constructed, you made it sound as if lazarus fails to offer what Delphi offers.
Sorry for being unclear !! (This obviously is just an issue of the word "Console Application".)
The contrary is true. Lazarus (at least in Linux) is able to compile real "pure run through" command line tools, while Delphi (AFAIK) just does normal "Applications" that don't show the main Windows and calls this a "Console Program".
In Linux, a Lazarus Console application can be used on hardware with no GUI system installed.
So Bo supposedly is save if he selects "Application" and not "Console Application" when setting up his project. In fact on a PI a GUI system is active by default.
Other than MSE, a Lazarus "Console Application" can't use TTimer, this might not be relevant for Bo on Pi.
