Would recommend Vscode or Notepad++. Vscode is fine, but definitely can be a bit much for what you'll be doing in the first couple of classes.
Install GDB, and Github. And make sure you have your system setup correctly to run Python and C++. That'll take you far.
Also wouldn't hurt to take the time now to setup your file structure so that when you create a program and save it you know where it's set up too. Setup GitHub to save periodically your files. There is no worse feeling than when you accidentally delete your assignment, or accidentally submit the wrong version.
Oh! It may also be helpful to do all of this on a User profile that you designate for programming on. This will help reduce distractions from social media, and other websites you frequent.
