Programming in C on Windows?
I have Windows 10 and on it I have Ubuntu installed in a VirtualBox. I was wondering if I should install a programming IDE fot C and a Compiler on the Ubuntu or if I should have it on Windows. I will probably install NetBeans IDE because that s what we use at our Uni and I want to get accustomed to it.

I use NetBeans as my first choice for Java, but not for C/C++ in Windows. Both NetBeans and Eclipse have C/C++ plugins available, but I find Code::Blocks cleaner than either of those--for simple projects, anyway. If you have a large, complex project then the project management tools available in NetBeans or (especially) Eclipse might come in handy.
I think you'll find a native code IDE and compiler much more responsive than anything running in a VM. (Oh, that might be terminology issue...I'm from an era where "responsive" meant "responsive" and not "runs on a phone".) That's going to apply to any IDE you choose.
PS: C::B runs on Linux, OSX and Windows, so you can put it where you want. The Windows version has a bundled MinGW compiler as an option for the binary download, making a very easy, 1-step install to get up and running.
