I want to learn c, and from what I know, I need a c compiler. But there seems to be a few out there. What I see mostly is minGW, and gcc when looking for tutorials, I'm not so sure what to do. Is there any good way for getting c onto your pc?

MinGW and Cygwin are the most popular open source environments that include a C compiler. There's also MS Visual Studio Community Edition, which is a free C/C++/C# environment.
My personal preference if you want to learn standard C would be to use a gcc environment like MinGW or Cygwin but it depends on what you want to do. If you're looking to code for the ESP8266/ESP32 or other small chipsets then gcc is def the way to go

I think, the free version of visual studio will be just fine.
