    What exactly do you mean? 🤔 c++ should be the same on every system. Or do you want to know how to use the kernel in c++?

    @naktop3031 I was asking @mohilkhare17 why he was asking for c++ in Linux... I mean... C++ is the same on windows

    @b3b3 I want to get used to the Linux environment and hence I'll like to know how can one get started to code in C++ on Linux, just as we did on Windows.

    You can use atom, vim or emacs as a text editor (some prefer vs code). And then create a makefile to compile your stuff. You can easily find tuts in the internet but if you still need help you are always free to ask me. If you want something like visual studio on windows you could try codeblocks or maybe kdevelop. But I actually never tried them 🤗

    I prefer to not use a huge ide because I always learn to keep my projects understandable

    @b3b3 I use VS Code for Windows, I guess I'll stick with that only. Thanks for your advice! 😀

    As IDE I love Code::Blocks, but I don't know many other IDEs. Also for learning, I found the tutorials on learncpp.com very thorough. ;-)
    Good luck and don't forget to have fun, C++ is awesome!

    If you can, try D instead. It can even interface with C++ (80%) and C almost flawlessly, while has a better interface and more standard library functions.
    Some may hate me for this, but tutorials like TutorialsPoint give a quick intro into C++ and places like cppreference (Google it). As you work more on Linux, you'll learn more. It takes time.
