Hi,
i am trying to download the GCC compiler for c++ but i couldn't find an easy way to do this
the farthest i got was to this github page https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases
which didn't really help because i don't know what version to download the msvcrt or the ucrt

i know the two are for different stuff, but i don't know which one is better for general coding and making projects and which not to

can anyone help me with that?

yes UCRT is never lib if you don't plan to run it on old windows use UCRT
