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.

I can heartedly recommend this one NandToTetris.

In this course gives you a complete understanding of how computers and programming qorks from first principle.

You'll start by (virtually) making chips with just a nand chip, than you'll make a cpu, ram and rom, evetually on to a full fletched computer. Than you'll write your own assembly language, parser and compiler for that computer. You'll write your own OS and your own higher level language (OOP) and eventually you'll write a geme (tetris) in that language.

This is of course all very simplified, but very educational.

This is the best option. I recommend Nand2Tetris to everyone! It's an incredibly well designed and executed course
