1. You could use either. But to keep confusion down as you're a new beginner, I would suggest using a windows-based laptop since

a. you're probably most familiar with that OS
b. most coding books/tutorial videos will use windows-based environments

2. You don't need a new laptop to get the job done. When I got started, I had most shyttest/weakest laptop of all time :laff:

3. As for classes/time to learn at home, bro you gonna need PASSION. Without that, none of this shyt is going to mean much because the shyt ain't easy. This isn't a hustle or quick come-up, this shyt will pretty much become your life.

I was hoping you'd come here and rebuke all the fukkery and nonsense being spewed in here :wow:

Long term planning plus extensibility into other areas.
I'm fully convinced people who know how to code forget how hard it is to learn how to code

It would take a beginner weeks to set that up

If you need a *nix environment, get the free version of VmWare Workstation and install a linux virtual machine on it. Linux Mint is a nice one.

fukk linux. Linux is for antisocial nerds who live in their mom's basement.

I use Kali Linux

Trying to learn how to hack? Trying to be Mr. Robot? p*ssy ass.

I really wanna learn coding.

Coding + my copywriting skills = :whoo:

Naaaah stay with your job at Walmart. Leave the coding to the big boys. Your brain can't handle this shyt right here, partna!

To extend this a bit further:

Get a fairly powerful computer with at least 8GBs of RAM (more is better). Processor should be an Intel Core i7 (Xeon processors are better).
Harddrive should be at least a TB in size (3 1 TB drives in a RAID-5 array will be better).
Install a hypervisor OS. I recommend either Citrix XenServer or VMware VSphere.

Build a (or several) VMs (virtual machines).
Install the OS and IDE in the VM. You can even diversify by setting up 1 Windows IDE environment and 1 Linux IDE environment.

With the VMs, you can take snapshots of your machines before you make changes. If you mess up, just revert back from the snapshot.

To extend this even further, you could create a half decent backup infrastructure as well to go along with your virtualization server.

This man knows his stuff. Dap + Rep

Is coding the same thing as coating(i.e. painting)

Yeah same exact thing. You're on the money there!

Officially, no.

I'm on the infrastructure side of computing, but if I need to bust a script or some code, I can.

Setting up a coding environment world be a piece of cake.

Breh, I wrote a 2000 line provisioning/deprovisioning program to automate user onboarding at a previous job that ran on an old Dell desktop. It integrated with Active Directory, Exchange, Lawson (HR), Oracle, SQL, and a bunch of other internal applications.

In what scenario would someone who's learning to code need a xeon processor, raid 5, and a TB of storage :dwillhuh:
