What should you choose to learn cpp programming? As I know both have support for language but does that really make any difference If I have to make a choice?

In the question“What are the easiest to use C++ compilers and IDEs?” Microsoft Visual C++ is ranked 2nd while GCC is ranked 3rd. The most important reason people chose Microsoft Visual C++ is: To get C++ running on a build machine, just copy the VC bin, and all the headers/libraries you'll need.
In addition to the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler that many of you are likely familiar with, Visual Studio 2017 also supports Clang, GCC, and other compilers when targeting certain platforms.
In this tutorial, you configure Visual Studio Code to use the GCC C++ compiler (g++) and GDB debugger from mingw-w64 to create programs that run on Windows. After configuring VS Code, you will compile and debug a simple Hello World program in VS Code.
At this stage, of learning afresh, you should not be worrying about compilers. Both are fine. Catching up the nuances of the compiler and if any difference does exist should occur latter, rather than at the start.
What would you make out of the differences at present when you are starting to learn the language ?
