Use ubuntu or debian until you get comfortable. I recommend at lest doing this once when you have time and a free machine, it will teach you a lot.

I am studying in a very networking-restrictive(oppressive, if you will) college(where sites like twitch.tv, kali.org, blackarch.org, steam(basically anything related to entertainment), fandom wiki, and even chess.com is blocked). Outgoing ssh port 22 is blocked so I cannot ssh into any servers outside the university network. VPN is blocked but thankfully wireguard isn't so I can bypass it. Source: over 2 years ago

About tools, I'd like to suggest two of my favourite pentest distibs: Parrot Security and Blackarch. And as /u/win10-1-0002 said, running your own Honeypots are the easiest and fastest (legal) way to practice and learn by doing. Source: about 3 years ago
