Hm I'm in the exact situation and I'm total beginner on desktop apps. I've been looking into Flutter for desktop but it isn't stable yet. If you ever come to a conclusion would you mind to share it? Thanks.

JavaFX is a great choice for beginners. Whatever app you make, anybody can run so long as the have the JRE installed.

Isn't it heavy and slow though? At least that's what I hear. I use android studio in a beefy macbook pro from time to time and it's slow as hell.

Jetbrains uses Swing not JavaFX from my knowledge. And yes, the performance can get slow for a Java app on the scale of Android studio but that shouldn't be of concern to a beginner.

Does this come packed with most platforms (Mac, Linux, Windows)?

No, but nothing else does either - you'll need to ship runtime environment in any case. And packing JRE is more cross-platform tested than most other solutions.
