Hello,
I have 8+ years of experience in C++ language and an extensive coverage of blockchain tech. I am sure that I can install any specified blockchain on any Ubuntu distribution while exposing the RPC for the exchange.
Best regards,
you want to have a wallet on your linux or ubuntu machine i would suggest ubuntu machine as i faced challenges with the linux machines and use a testnet to test the connection with your rpc services i have done a similar project with bitcoin core testnet
