I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

They can try all they like, man. They're not gonna guess a username, key and password.
Doesn't take that to leverage an unknown vulnerability in ssh like:

That's why it's common best practice to never expose ssh to raw internet if you can help it; but yes it's not the most risky thing ever either.
If you're going to open something, SSH is far, far more battle-tested than much other software, even popular software. Pragmatically, If someone is sitting on a 0-day for SSH, do you genuinely think they're gonna waste that on you and me? Either they're gonna sell it to cash out as fast as possible, or they'll sit on it while plotting an attack against someone who has real money. It is an unhealthy level of paranoia to suggest that SSH is not secure, or that it's less secure than the hundreds of other solutions to this problem.
Here is my IP address, make me eat my words.
2a05:f6c7:8321::164 | 89.160.150.164
You got balls to post you public addresses like that... I mean I agree with you wholeheartedly and I also have SSH port forwarded on my firewall, but posting your public IP is next-level confidence.
Respect.
Well, having a domain is basically documenting your IP publicly. It's not that risky.
That is some big dick energy ngl
