    No because most tutorials will start from “write print(“Hello World”)” and the like without mentioning compiling or where to write it or with what…

    I didn’t really get into coding until someone guided me through the basics of python, which is an easy language that doesn’t even require compiling. One of the reasons was precisely not knowing where to start.


















  • Please no. First of all Arch-based distros (or rolling releases in general) shouldn’t be recommended to newbies at all, secondly if you really have to use Arch (you almost certainly don’t but suit yourself) go for a good distro like Endeavour OS or Garuda Linux, or just install arch itself (there’s archinstall if you are afraid of using Arch the way it’s supposed to be used).

    I say this as someone who uses Arch (btw) or rather Endeavour OS. It is a nice and mostly smooth experience granted but you will eventually run into issues or packages that are not in the official repos and you will need to put up with it. Arch distros should be viewed as tinkerer distros not newbie distros (unless the newbie wants to tinker and put up with it, of course).
