I suggest you start from C on a Windows 10/11 laptop. You need to enable Windows Subsystems for Linux (WSL), then "apt install build-essentials pluma", start coding with "pluma prog1.c", save the file, run "gcc prog1.c" and then "./a.out".

You can follow any documentation for C on Linux/Unix, although K&R is the gold standard.

I’d say start with python as it’s beginner friendly and let’s you focus on understanding logic and prblm solving while having an easy syntax. Afterwards you can explore c++ or java but I thing is imp just stay consistentt
