From Wikipedia, "conio.h is a C header file used mostly by MS-DOS compilers to provide console input/output. It is not part of the C standard library or ISO C, nor is it defined by POSIX."
You need to avoid Microsoft proprietary code. Find alternatives to the bits that conio provides.

As already mentioned conio.h is a compiler suite specific header file introduced by Turbo C for MS-DOS which has been later adapted also by Microsoft for their C compilers.

For similar functions on Linux you can use a curses library like Announcing ncurses 6.0 - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)[^].

There is a project that implements conio.h using ncurses: Linux c++ implementation of conio.h download | SourceForge.net[^].

If you only need to read console input, use Ubuntu Manpage: fgetc, fgets, getc, getchar, gets, ungetc - input of characters and strings[^].

With C++ you can use also use Basic Input/Output - C++ Tutorials[^] which is supported by all compilers.
