I have like 30 drops and I use a mikrotik router.
I’m kinda new at the networking stuff.
Is it better to have a managet switch, or I just use an unmanaget?
(I try to learn how this networking stuff work)

i would sugged managed switch better for you it gives full control & flexibility
It depends on your requirements.
If you only need a lot of ports, all on the same subnet, an unmanaged switch will do.
If you are planing to use VLANs or other features a managed switch will come with, then you should get a managed one, if it is within your budget.
I will use vlans, but I don’t know is it better to use my router for vlans or use a managet switch?
A managed switch IS an unmanaged switch until you configure it.
If you want cheap and don’t plan on doing anything other than just connecting a bunch of devices to a switch, then unmanaged. If you want to play around with VLANs, etc. then managed.
