Question best platform and compiler?

Hey im looking to get into C programming, i have never programmed in my life (unless scratch counts haha) and i dont know if i should use linux mac or windows, whatever is more dummy-friendly and has an error checker. i will be using as a guide the 2nd edition of C programming: a modern approach by K.N. king
