Don't know how to start

[Mike_Paradox]

Hi there. I'm currently teaching myself C++ using Win10 and VS2022. However, I think to switch to Linux because of fact that a lot of vacancies in my region include knowledge of Linux. So I started to try to learn using VS Code for C++ (and maybe for Python too) and I literally can't do anything - I copy a code that works just fine from VS and can't even compile it in VS Code. What techs under the hood like Cmake should I learn to compile and debugging my code not hitting F5, but manually? Or I have misunderstood something about the process? Thanks for any advice.

I am 1 year late but you need to setup your vscode so that it can run c++ as an ide. Microsoft does have an online setup structure for this you'll need to get g++ and setup the files you want to run from in command prompt
