What do you think are things C++ does worse than C?
This causes some stl headers to take >1 second to compile, 4x slower than windows.h: https://github.com/s9w/cpp-lit

STB: Single-file public domain libraries for C/C++
there's glad (https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad) which you can use as a single .c file + .h header that defines OpenGL stuff or a single header-only file. I use it on all of my OpenGL projects!

How do I enable anisotropic filtering with GLAD?
If you run into a similar issue with another extension, you need to manually add extensions when generating the GLAD loader.

Exploring Computer Graphics: Weekly Chronicle #1
GLEW/GLAD: Libraries that manage and give access to OpenGL functions and extensions. The difference is that GLAD allows for greater flexibility & customization for more recent versions of OpenGL. However, the Udemy course that I'm following uses GLEW and at least at this point, I prefer to follow along with the tools that each resource recommends.

Implications of running OpenGL inside a VM(parallels) on a Mac
I downloaded glad from this website : http://glad.dav1d.de/ I was also referring to this tutorial to setup my project : https://learnopengl.com/Getting-started/Creating-a-window

How do you setup OpenGL?
Not sure what you're asking, what is your end goal? If you opt for glfw look at the glfw docs: https://www.glfw.org/documentation.html and/or https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad/blob/glad2/example/c/gl_glfw.c for GLAD

Modern OpenGL loading library solution
Just link to GLAD if you're going to link to it! https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad
- When I compile my program, it has a problem with my include statement for the GLFW header file.

I (Putnam) put an up-to-date version of the graphics portion of Dwarf Fortress on Github, including the upcoming SDL2 version on a branch
glew is a GL extension/loading library, OP didn't write glew, personally I use GLAD (https://glad.dav1d.de/) in my projects, which is pretty much the same thing but auto-generated for you based on your project requirements.

including opengl header file but can't use its functions
In general nobody really uses the gl headers because they are super outdated and, i believe, only use Microsoft's software renderer for OpenGL. You should use a OpenGL function loader like GLAD instead.

Is setting up C+OpenGL with VSC really that hard?
Just use a library like glad which loads everything at runtime under the hood (even system OpenGL runtime, no need to link anything). For a quick start, there is a website to generate headers and a single glad.c to put in your project: https://glad.dav1d.de/
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cpp-lit and glad you can also consider the following projects:
conan - Conan - The open-source C and C++ package manager
glew - The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library
Cython - The most widely used Python to C compiler
GLFW - A multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, window and input
stl-header-heft - Measures how parsing overweight the major STLs have become
glew-cmake - GLEW(https://github.com/nigels-com/glew, source updated nightly) with Cmake and pre-generated sources
opengl-imgui-cmake-template - 👾 template repo for getting started with opengl together with imgui using cmake
ImGuizmo - Immediate mode 3D gizmo for scene editing and other controls based on Dear Imgui
LearnOpenGL - Code repository of all OpenGL chapters from the book and its accompanying website https://learnopengl.com
