Use whatever you find most comfortable.
It is often best to learn skills one by one to contextualize them better. Linux is a useful skill to have, but trying to learn Linux, Git, and Python at the same time might be overload.
Personally I use Visual Studio Code (free) for Python which is available on Linux, Windows, and MacOS. It also has fantastic Git integration. But I think "learn one thing at a time" also applies to IDEs/Editors, so if you already know a Python compatible one maybe use that first.
- auxym 7y agoDefinitely this. So many people here recommending linux, WSL, a macbook, etc, for absolutely no reason. There is no reason any plain old windows would not work for python. I learned about back around 2005, on windows, using the good ol' bundled IDLE editor/repl. I do agree however that VS Code with the Python plugin makes for a great dev environment. So yeah, OP, just install python and vs code right and dive into it. You can learn linux later if you want to.
