Using C++ in VSCode - Linux

If you managed to get a Linux distribution installed onto a computer, you are most likely familiar with official documentation lingo and the terminal. So, this will be up for you to decide on what is best.

You’ll just need three things: a C++ compiler (I recommend g++), a text editor (I recommend VSCode), and a debugger (I recommend gdb), though a debugger is optional if you want to do this course the hard way.

I’ll leave this here for you to reference, if you choose to install VSCode.

Since you’re a Linux user, you may also be interested in learning Vim alongside this course’s content. Vim is a terminal-based text editor with a lot of keybindings to memorize. When mastered, though, writing code can be incredibly fast.
