woelfchen suggestion is good. For pi you would have to learn/know linux.
It depends very much on your application. But if you are starting out why not just deploy it on your main machine as the investment is zero?

Lol because my main machine is a laptop that I'm pushing to the limit. I feel like I'll need more than a Pi, but I may be mistaken. They're almost cost prohibitive for the machine that you get. I was just curious if there were any other good single board options out there.
I run Mac so I already use unix. This isn't coming from being completely naive of computers, just out of hardware. The Pentium III was still a formidable processor the last time I put anything together.
If you wanna commit a bit of money to it. I would buy a cheap second hand Hp microserver gen8. In NL I could get these in the price range of 125-350 euro. (125 probably something requires fixing) https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/computers-en-software/servers/q/hp+microserver/
