6. Forget C++

Naw, forget C++, learn Python instead! I'm only 1/2 kidding, C++ is almost a historical language now.

And you kinda forgot to mention what platform you'll be using. If you've got a spare HDMI monitor and USB keyboard/mouse, then a Raspberry Pi can be a lot of fun (and runs Pi-hole too). If you've got any Linux box, then the compiler comes with it. If you've got a Mac, then Xcode is free (and omg learn Swift!). If you've got a Windows machine ... well, good luck!
