#Starting a Linux Window from a C program.

the answer isn't straightforward
there are different window systems in use with linux
most popular are the X window system and Wayland
you can interface with them directly, but you probably really want to use some GUI library that abstracts over this
Qt, gtk for all-encompassing frameworks
and many others
what exactly do you want to do?
if you want to make a game, then maybe something like sdl will be helpful anyway?
it should give you something that you can render into with e.g. OpenGl
I don't actually do much graphics stuff, so someone else can give better answer.
it does that and more

making a game.. stop wasting your time on the windowing system.. do your game and let something like SDL do all the window stuff
