Some Context: I've been learning and teaching myself how to code Python and Processing a couple of months now. I don't have a PC, so I'm running a free tier Amazon EC2 Windows instance on my Android using RD Client. Running Python and some simple Processing scripts is fine but I want to run more complex scripts but I am unable to due to hardware limitations (according to what I understand from the error codes at least). Due to my current financial situation I have no access to a PC for now (currently looking at a $100 dollar used laptop but still saving up)

 

So is there a Cloud PC service that offer free trials so I can keep learning? As long it's slightly powerful than the Windows instance it's fine and I'll make do. I've looked at Loud PC and Shadow but it doesn't look like they offer free trials.

 

Also, I'm not sure if this even the correct place to post, please say something if its is.

Thanks.

Web hosting will not offer VM services, but a VPS might.

Why does he need a VM ? He could have the code saved and running on the web hosting, then use FTP / SFTP client, cPanel editor or even install https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia or https://github.com/Atheos/Atheos on the web server .

oooor , SSH into the web hosting and program in Vim

That, and Web hosting doesn't always, or even often provide access to the tools he would like to use.

Fair enough. You're answering the OP subject and  in that case you're right.

On the other hand, i'm answering the "problem" . I think he's assuming a VM is needed, but the OP description paints another picture.

If he can't afford the software and/or hardware of proper dev env, then I think a free cloud VM is the wrong solution as he's learning. If he's looking for more resources to run bigger scripts, then a cheap web hosting should do the trick.

If a VM is really needed for some reason, then that's not clear in the post description.

Can I run something like a Windows instance? I'm more comfortable with Windows or is there another way to run my more complex scripts?

 

I was using a Windows instance because I thought that was the easiest way to run my scripts but the free instance from Amazon's EC2 isn't that powerful enough to run my scripts anymore.
