Zero to Hero: A noob's quest to creating a Minecraft server. Chapter 1, How to begin? Is Linux it?

Sorry if this is server isn't meant for explaining the basics, but I am a long-time Minecraft consumer and have always dreamed of opening my very own Minecraft server after so many years of playing on others' creations.
I have an old computer I would like to use to run said server on, and I probably will use Forge mods as it's what I'm most familiar with playing.
I know there is a long road ahead of me, but I will embark upon this glorious journey.
Just... where do I start?
What are all the things I need to learn and consider on my mission?
I know for other applications, the servers they use tend to run on Linux, I have no experience with Linux either though, so what Linux distribution should I start learning for setting up a Minecraft server if any?
