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.

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!
