Sparkfun Proton Redboard connection issues

I'm a total Noob. I've been through tonnes of installation instructions. I have a Windows 10 tablet, Ubuntu 14.04 laptop, Remix OS tablet. I have tried everything I can. I have even tried using the web version. I keep getting errors. I have updated drivers, installed .tar packages, I have the most current version of the IDE on all platforms.

On Ubuntu, I have IDE v1.8.4 I see the comm as /dev/ttyACM0
I have read that this is an issue. It should be /dev/tty/USB0 for example. I have tried

sudo usermod -a -G tty username
sudo usermod -a -G dialout username

No success. Still appears as /dev/ttyACM0

On Remix OS, see attached.

On Windows 10 tablet, both in the Web Editor and desktop version, I get the avrdude: stk500_rcv(): programmer not responding error.

Help! Please!

This is the board.

Note: Sparkfun Proton Redboard is not an Arduino device. It is a Particle Photon, programmed via Particle Web IDE.

"Photon", not "proto"...
I don't see anything on the sparkfun page to indicate that this board is compatible with arduino.
Photons are essentially a competitor of Arduino's, and they use a different development environment, called "particle"...
