You are feeling the potential of open source: a community open to all 
and your freedom to change anything. Even Microsoft is embracing it.

Debian is harder to install than Ubuntu because it gives you more 
choice. Choice reduces happiness:

But choice gives you power. Try installing a minimal Debian in a virtual 
machine. Try adding more packages and a desktop environment.

I recommend learning Linux and Python by using them wherever possible. 
What are your areas of interest? Games? Science? You could start a tiny 
Python project. A great way to learn from others is to contribute to an 
open source project.

I meet all my office needs with LibreOffice. If you prefer Windows 
offerings, you can run Debian in a virtual machine and have the best of 
both worlds.
