just use win10 and C++
why would program on an OS you don't use?

the only advice imma give is to use Modern C++™ and not C with classes
use vectors not arrays, std::string not char arrays, etc
I would really recommend you to read the book Accelerated C++ my dude

>>58528475
I assume you probably use Visual Studio for C++ on windows so you'll be fine. visual studio is alright. So if all you're doing is C++, then you can just continue using what you're already comfortable with.
Some other languages don't have a nice IDE though and in those cases Unix-likes are much more comfortable for programming,
because it's so much simpler to set up the compiler, the build and debug system and all that.
You could try Debian or Ubuntu.

Use OpenBSD. It will force you to follow best practices and help you find a ton of bugs.

Quads set the rules. Must obey. Will do.

>std::string not char

This

class TaggedUnion {
  public:
  char type;
  union {
    std::string string;
    double number;
    bool boolean;
  };
};

doesn't work, while this

class TaggedUnion {
  public:
  char type;
  union {
    char* string;
    double number;
    bool boolean;
  };
};

does.

then email hillary and tell her that it is the russians.

>>58528475
dont be a visual studio IDE nigger. get any linux distro, bask in glory of gcc.

>>58528475
you should probably use the OS you plan on programming for lol
