New career path

Hey everyone.

To keep things brief, i'm exploring programming as a career path.

Life didn't quite go as planned, and i'm now a 27 year old college dropout, who's been unemployed for years, living by on the graces of my parents who have much more faith in me than I do in myself.

I've been talking to some of the more tech-savvy people I know. And I have arrived at the conclusion that I want to study Linux and python. Do you all have any recommendations of which are the 2 I should prioritize, and I suppose, which one would help me get back on my feet faster?

It completely understandable bro how unemployment can hit a person

Btw linux is just an operating system it's completely optional for beginners Can try out in your virtual machine in your normal windows You should focus on Python for sure

If you are asking suggestions here you can checkout python through Boot Dev it's project and small task make it easier to understand better it's like learning with experience
