Very dumb question (I’ve tried the search function but no deal)
Get a non-custodial wallet: This is where you start to believe you really have Bitcoin, but it is still not perfect. A non-custodial wallet (like BlueWallet) is one of the slow types of Bitcoin wallets (on-chain) but this is where I think you, as a inquisitive mind, should start. Others will start with lightning wallets so they can buy beer right away. BlueWalllet has you create a "wallet" and gives you "seed words" to write down and keep safe. This is private. Do not take pictures of it, screenshots of it, and do not save it to a digital file. Paper is really easy and there's no risk of undiscovered malware being able to see what you write on paper. You'll very quickly learn the lingo: "wallet", "addresses", "utxo", etc. When you receive funds, the wallet will show you your balance like Coinbase does, but it will also show you a "transaction id". This, you can use to check that your transaction is real by checking a blockchain explorer like "https://mempool.space" or "https://bitcoinexplorer.org/". You are now able to check multiple sources, increasing your belief that the Bitcoin is real.

is there a way to have a "personal" block explorer based on your own full node?
It depends what you're running. Raspiblitz, for example, allows you to use btc rpc explorer (https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer) and mempool (https://github.com/mempool/mempool) quite easily.

What are best tools for ground up bitcoin/lightning node?
I like RTL, services like loopd for channel rebalancing or if you're so inclined, the whole lightning terminal package. I love jochen's mempool explorer (source code) when estimating fees. I use blockstream's block explorer esplora (source) for my block explorer. There's so many fun tools out there I can't even come close to naming them all.
