    I would maybe Google how to write a "hello world" program in C and just build from there

    @Livewire1407 worked with Linux before but now I'm a windows user because of most IDE's that I use

    I'd suggest starting with code blocks idea with mingw compiler as the quickest way to start (without knowing your background). then just look up some tutorials

    Talk to a counselor about how you hate yourself then Google a tutorial and start programming. Be sure to pick a bottle of strong liquor to wash away the pain.

    @NoNameCode He says old but doesnt disrespect it. Calling old people old is not a problem, but calling them as a fucking monster with hidden tentacles is disrespectful. There is a subtle blurry line. xD

    Learn something old with a new twist. like Clojure for instance, it's a modern interpretation of Lisp targeting the Java virtual machine.

    If however C was the language you selected and wasn't just giving as an example it might be easier to install Linux in a virtual machine. I mean, some of the tools you'd need if you were building a BIG program ain't pretty but you wouldn't need those at first.

    Having it in a virtual machine makes it easy to blow away your dev environment if you decide it ain't for you.
