I want start with python but I don’t know what operating system and tools to use. I have a 6 RAM icore3 180 GB hard disk Notebook laptop running Linux mint. I plan to save up to Buy a PC in the future but for I have to make due my old laptop

I am also wondering how does the programming market look like in terms of operating system. Does it matter which operating system you use? In terms of programming institutions (universities bootcamps, etc…), do each institutions have its own preference or does it let its student choose?

      This. If you want to start coding on your own computer, the Python IDLE is great for beginners (it’s probably inside a package named idle). Just click on ‘File > New’ to start writing a new program and press the F5 key to run it!

      Agree on the bootcamp part, but 8k a year for a degree? Hopefully OP has more options than that

        Are you from somewhere that’s not the US? University of Southern California is not a particularly stand out school for academics costs 80k per semester. 8K a year is hard to beat in the US.
