First year CS student currently on vacations looking for programming course to follow.
Hi, I'm a first year CS student and this 3 month period of vacations I want to follow a good free course on programming. If it's possible, I also want to learn how is the process in which a code written in a text editor can become an executable with it's GUI in the operating system (currently using Linux), because I really have no idea how that works.
Browsing the web for it have become overwhelming and I'm finding trouble in deciding what to follow, and I also need some order in order to learn things.
I would really appreciate if you can tell me if you know any course that meets this requirements.

or, you know, touch some grass and don't burn out while waiting for the courses to start
Students don't need to touch grass. They are still eager and motivated and should take advantage of that mindset while it lasts.
It might last a little longer if they don't burn themselves out. Just my two cents, though
ok boomer :PPPPP
Haha second time I've been called a boomer this week XD I just wanted to point out that as a new student, you have a sense of wonder and excitement for your new specialty that you loose over the years. It's a powerful motivator. But yes, a change of scenery sometimes is good for everyone.
I couldn't resist and it was the first time I told someone, maybe it makes you happy :D
actually I remember well the kind of drive and energy that motivated me at the beginning of my studies/career, I find it's definitely something that's cool to experience, the response to OP came out like that, because maybe by now I'm the boomer :D ciao!
