I want start with python but I don’t know what operating system and tools to use. I have a 6 RAM icore3 180 GB hard disk Notebook laptop running Linux mint. I plan to save up to Buy a PC in the future but for I have to make due my old laptop

I am also wondering how does the programming market look like in terms of operating system. Does it matter which operating system you use? In terms of programming institutions (universities bootcamps, etc…), do each institutions have its own preference or does it let its student choose?

    Any operating system can run Python just fine. That being said, your laptop would benefit from a light weight system like Linux with Xfce or Lxde. I’ve never heard of a programming course requiring a specific OS (aside from courses on OS specific tools, like Cocoa).
