Most distros - especially everything Debian/Ubuntu/Mint flavoured -
don't enable any firewalling by default.

If you're on Fedora then you'll have to fight with the piece of crap
that is firewalld - brought to you by the same idiots who foisted
systemd, pulseaudio and a whole bunch of other hateful rubbish on us.
OpenSuse is about the only distro I can immediately think of that
handles out of the box firewalling with relative aplomb.

So, it's a fair point, but I doubt that the firewall is going to be a
problem.
