Yup. Linux also was really easy. I have used both.
Way too expensive.
I hope more people would hop on to i2p. Its really easy to setup.
Just managed to setup i2pd with IRC, ip2snark for torrents and got my website running also.
Start with Mint and use flatpaks. You will be all set.
Its really great. I can only recommend.
Krunner is great.
