Answer 5

@Kinshuk
Yes, you should be able to work with it like with the VS IDE. It just looks different(:

Thank You!

Answer 7

The better question is, "Why would you *want* Visual Studio on Linux OS?" Debian & co. have awesome IDEs like Code::Blocks and Eclipse. But if you get used to Nano, you won't miss flashy things. There are even purposes-specific editors. It's like all your Christmases come at once :)

Answer 8

@Jamie
I have installed code::blocks, but wondered if I could install VS as well, will I be able to use windows.h in Linux?

I guess ill have to learn linux methods for the same seperately...

Answer 9

@Kinshuk:
Ah, that's why you want VS? Sad news is windows.h is a windows header and those binaries aren't present on Linux, regardless of IDE. AFAIK, it makes use of Windows API functionality, Windows types, etc. It's apples and oranges.
