There is no reason to not leverage a firewall. Plenty of browser based malware can breach your home router and call back out to allow an attacker to explore your network. Windows has included a firewall for over a decade and it's fine. You can with a single command enable Linux's built in firewall and be glad you did the bare minimum of cyber security.

Windows network layer is a desaster. It is so bad, you could currupt the system with Ping in the past.
I would not say, you should not have a firewall on a desktop, but saying it's a good idea bc/ windows makes me laugh.
