Git Bash good for Windows 8.1 user?

Hi Im a newbie learning about Git and in most tutorials and videos I saw ppl using different console that is not cmd.exe which also start with a $ symbol. Will I miss something important if i dont use a Mac or Linux console? Is Git Bash the way to go?🤔 PS: My laptop is old but younger that Mama Coco

You can install cygwin to have similar linux interfaces and install git for windows desktop.

Or you could try dualbooting a Linux distro to see how you like it. https://itsfoss.com/guide-install-linux-mint-16-dual-boot-windows/ Mint is just a popular kind of linux now. Its worth looking into if you already want to get into bash
