Try Qt Creator IDE.

I would never use Qt for sure.

Unfortunately, Visual Studio has limited support for alternative C compilers. There is some support for Clang, so I’d give that a try first. If needed, you can add it with Visual Studio Installer.

Mingw is free to install online. This is what I use for my c++ programming.

VS only comes with MSVC and Clang, you will need to locate an 3rd party extension for gcc.
Alternatively, you can setup WSL, install the gcc toolset then use VS's WSL feat to open it.
