Guys,have been developing some projects in C but at a certain time there was the need to use the library "Windows. h". So far so good, the problem is that I develop with Linux and researched about the library it is unique to Windows and obviously has no logic to use in my development environment. I wonder if you have any similarities for Linux.

Yes Eric, there are similar libraries:
You can choose to use GTK+ (https://www.gtk.org/), with it you can use the same code to develop graphical interfaces for Windows, Linux or macOS, here is a list of the languages that GTK supports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_language_bindings_for_GTK%2B.
You can also choose Qt (https://www.qt.io/), I can’t talk about it much because I’ve never used it, but what I hear is that unlike GTK+ (which supports C), it supports C++ instead of C.
Thanks for the info, bro!. Very helpful.

Yes, you have learned correctly, which is unique to Windows does not work for Linux. If you are going to use one operating system’s unique API use it, do not try to use it on the other. There are other Apis on Linux, totally different, you have to learn them, not transpose what you had in one to the other.

There is no magic, each thing has to be converted manually, and some things are really different because there is no direct match. That’s why we make a port from one system to another is complicated thing and it takes a lot of time.
