In case someone wants to build bitcoin nodes as beginner!

First of all, they should think whether they really want or need to run full node. Some people doesn't have strong desire to help Bitcoin network when it cost them something or in need of strong privacy. Lightweight wallet with Tor/VPN and SPV feature usually is good enough for some people.

Support which running a node?  Don't burn your internet so you won't pay a huge internet fee. If you're not planning to mine Bitcoin there's no reason for you to make use of Bitcoin Core, you can just make use of an easy-to-use and simple Bitcoin wallet like Electrum.

You don't need to run full node in order to mine Bitcoin. These days usually you just download mining software and connect it to certain Bitcoin mining pool. While there's exception for solo miner who run their own pool, almost nobody does that.

Bitcoin Core may not be the best choice for beginners, as it requires a certain level of technical knowledge and familiarity with the command line interface. It can also be resource-intensive and may require significant storage space and bandwidth.
