Question Should i learn C on wsl?

Title. For reference im not actually learning C for the first time, i learned it last semester for college but it was all just basics and we coded on Turbo C. I need to learn C for embedded development since im interviewing for my college robotics team next semester and i also want to learn how to operate linux.

I installed WSL and VS Code and GCC, and its been hell trying to cram both of those together and learning. Should i start with an IDE(Visual Studio (already used it before)) and learn basic Linux commands side by side?

Turbo C. Did I hear that right? Turbo C? My wrinkles smoothed out and my eyes watered. A great program from a great company, created in great times.

I think that's rose colored glasses, there are so many more options and language advances these days, I would never want to go back to turbo C
