I've been attempting to get Debian 12 up and running on the new PC I built and man going from Windows to Linux distro feels like a slog due to my inexperience. It's had me thinking that maybe I'd be better off just having dual boots and easing into Ubuntu or Debian while I have JF set up on the Windows side.
I spent a decent amount of time trying to get remote in capabilities and figure out why I couldn't install UFW and I think it's because Debian has a built in firewall that has more up to date iplibraries? I basically slogged through google until I found some documentation about it. All this is just in service to getting JF up and maybe running a server for Minecraft or whatever other game.
I'm curious about other's experiences, I've read around that some of y'all just strip down Windows and run fine like that. I want to learn Linux stuff to get away from Windows but I felt like every step I had to look up instructions or explanations for things I was already looking up to do. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed but I've heard so many good things about stability and ease of use of Linux distros once things are all set.
Let me know your woes and any advice for a first timer
