Do I need a firewall for my fedora 38?

I'm new to Linux, previously been on Windows where I used defender + Windows firewall. Now I'm on fedora which also have its firewall called firewalld. Are those sufficient, or do I need any other solutions for my security?

    Fedora typically has SELinux and AppArmor enabled by default which should protect from something nasty executing on your machine.

    That does not really work that way. Aside from what the other responder said, only a small set of programs are confined by these security solutions by default.
