The picture I see is tiny and I can't read the error message. Please
copy-paste the text from the terminal into the e-mail. Here's how you do

You'd want to use Ubuntu, just because it probably has the largest
population of beginners using it and they produce lots of beginner
questions on the internet you can find with search engines. Or you can ask
your own and it will be well received, because Ubuntu people are used to
having beginners around.

be used to run a virtual machine with Ubumtu linux from Windows
* https://ubuntu.com/wsl Windows Subsystem for Linux allows for a faster
and more lightweight way of achieving essentially the same result as
VirtualBox gives you

If you decide to try, then try one of the two ways I've listed. Both are
about running Ubuntu from inside Windows, which is more convenient than the
other methods. WSL2 seems to be the more light-weight option and faster to
get going, if I understand it correctly (I only used VirtualBox previously).

I talked to one of my friends and he insisted on installing turbo cpp


You mean this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_C%2B%2B ?! That does not
look promising. Qpid Proton's INSTALL.md talks about Visual Studio, which
is what you should install. There is I think a version of Visual Studio
2019 that is free to use.

If you can fit your usage into the Free plan thay offer, then I think it's
fine for now. I still recommend installing either Ubuntu (to have your own
Linux environment, for offline work, or if you want to have your IDE open
for more than 50 hours per month and not pay for the privilege) or install
Microsoft Visual Studio and try to get your Windows development environment
to work.
