heck, ya!

learning c is easier when the system doesn't add a layer of difficulty.
i've found it to be a great help to be able to read the header files, and
dive into the libraries without finding a maze of twisty passages.

learning the standard way of doing things is a bit of trivia that can
be done later.

native.  sadly, i have not made much time for virtual machines.
i currently run amd64, mips (routerboard), arm (openrd and rpi).
