I'd say install linux first as it will make things easier as python is built in and ts just a better OS all around.
As for getting started you can use youtube Or some free books such as
https://automatetheboringstuff.com/ https://inventwithpython.com/
And more here https://pythonbooks.org/free-books/
After a few videos and a book you will get the hang of it and get more confident in your abilities. Then do a project of your own
There are other languages but python will allow you to make progress fast and you can branch out to a different language later of if you like.
I really wish I could run Linux but almost all of the software I use for work is only on Windows.
But I will say I am decent in following instructions and using the cli. My mum’s system runs linux and that has been a learning experience.
Fair enough, you can always do it on windows too or use a virtual machine
