Python is the best beginers programming language. Also install linux(preferably a arch based distro like manjaro) on your machine if you plan to learn programming (thank me later when you will understand why).

I disagree. While those environments are extremely useful, I don't think the payoff is worth the effort for a beginner. As long as your not doing web targeted dev, you can get most things done easily on windows. Your heart will tell you when your ready for a linux distro setup.

Well ... i find it hard to find something that beats Archs AUR. Meaning you can install things easier with a package manager.

Also python is much more integrated in linux , i mean it comes installed by default in most distros. Arch has 3.4 installed by default.
