Installation help.

Hi everyone. My daily driver is VoidLinux and I also use docker and nixos/nixpackagemanager. I am enrolled in a java course (kinda of bootcamp course) and my course/instructor prefers Windows and unfortunately using linux is out of topic and can't provide assistance with it. I am learning jdbc in java, hence I need to have Oracle DB installation, setup. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to get Oracle DB (server and client, and web version) and Oracle JDBC (really sorry that in the past day I couldn't focus much on my course so I still don't correctly know these terms) for GNU/Linux distro. I can't install Windows on dual-boot or VM because I don't have backups and I don't have high system specs.
EDIT: for this task, I don't require a paid version of Oracle DB, any free version that supports OpenJDK 8, 11, 17, 21, 24 and JDBC and Linux would be good to go.
It's a humble request to get me some assistance. It's very important and urgent for me. I'll be really very thankful to you.
