A youngster then. One of my most enthusiastic students was 96.I am 85 years old
You could start the way people learn in code club. Divide your age by 10 and you qualify. Everything is done in Graphical tools. You will most likely use Geany as the editor. Learn Python as 98.736% of Pi examples are in Python.
Do you know C or equivalent? C works exactly the same or easier on Linux when compared to Windows. C is a pig to learn, compared to IBM mainframe Assembly, because C has really bad examples of addressing (called pointers) but once you learn the tricks, the C pointer system has one advantage. Ten Steps backward, one forward.
PHP? Runs the same on all OS options. Some things are easier on Linux. Linux Mint for Intel machines is my main choice for development. The Pi 4 runs the results ok. Now I have a Pi 5 and first tests with USB 3 SSD show it is a good alternative to my Intel. I am about to test with NVMe direct connect.
Things like Docker add overhead. I expect they would work fine on my Intel but would slow down a Pi 5 to the point where I would return to my notebook.
What language do you want to learn? Or more important, what do you want your programs to do?
