Kubernetes for beginers? (piefed.social)

Wanting to dip my toes into kubernetes for homelab stuff and I have a few questions.

Do I need a specialized OS for it? I've been trying to get some TalOS VMs running but I've ran into some issues. Would you recommend like a Ubuntu server running kubernetes over something like TalOS?
Could I run this on a Windows server? I'm personally a Linux guy, but a friend who prefers windows server wanted to try it and I thought I'd ask.
Can I migrate Docker services to a Kube cluster? How easy is it?
Any recommendations for learning materials? I've clearly struggled with TalOS's quick start materials as I haven't been able to get into the tutorial cluster made with docker locally. I keep getting weird errors and reinstalling Talosctl and docker. I've diagnosed this as a "skill issue". My learning budget is like $100 for a udemy class or good interactive guide (Paid for by work apparently. I was learning this for fun, but it may actually be needed knowledge for a project)

              No just linux and an orchestrator, for very small and local deployments I have used k3s.
Probably not, but maybe with WSL2.
Yes, there are many ways to do it. Some have mentioned helm but you cal also write your own manifests, somewhat similar to docker-compose files.
The Kubernetes Book, and just try to get some pods up and running.

With microk8s you can, but you'll need Windows Server Datacenter (iirc) and the ecosystem is a mess… there are not many images built for Windows and, worst of all, the image Windows version must match the host
