I'm just starting to dip my toes on coding, starting with C. I asked people how to set an environment for C coding, they said VScode for editing and MinGW for compiling is the best.
I got VScode with C/C++ extension installed, but I have trouble installing MinGW. I've installed MinGW Installation Manager, and there are hundreds of packages available to download. Which of them should I install?
See the MinGW documentation about what packages are recommended. Also, the free VisualStudio Community Edition might be better suited for beginners than MinGW, as it is an all-in-one-package.
