Good for you !
I started with a dreadful "wind trainer" back in the mid '80's. It made so much noise but it did work. Watched movies, TV, videos of bike races, whatever to ease the mind numbing boring ride. Went through a variety of dumb trainers and the mind numbing ride made it difficult. I tried rollers but they really sucked...lol...I couldn't balance on it to save my life or my house.
I've had a Kickr for the past three years or so and holy moly what a difference. I use Zwift primarily but I also use Rouvy for my recovery rides just to enjoy the scenery of different environments. But for training, racing, etc. I love Zwift.
Have fun ! ! !
