Of course you can do this, you can just add a custom url to you static CSS file, but im not sure why you want to do this...
What i did is i kept the default less/css from magento and made my own vendor.less / vendor.css thats overrides some, but generally adds just my own css

Yes, Magento2 is a lot more complex, and is build with way more modern techniques. You can use Bootstrap and less if you want combined of course. It sounds a little that you are taking a shortcut... There is a lot of CMD-line stuff involved in developing with Magento2. So if your not comfortable i should really re-consider to dive in. I'm very experienced in M1, and also pretty much in Back-end and front-end development, and it has been already a huge journey. So would i advice, yes if you have the knowledge or time to get it. ;-) Good luck!Kay Int Veen– Kay Int Veen2016年05月11日 10:48:58 +00:00Commented May 11, 2016 at 10:48

That depends so much on your basic php and frond-end skill-level. Im working for 3 months with it now, and have a good understanding but still mis a lot.Kay Int Veen– Kay Int Veen2016年05月11日 11:26:06 +00:00Commented May 11, 2016 at 11:26
If you are already familiar with Twitter Bootstrap, you could start by using the LESS version of Bootstrap: https://getbootstrap.com/2.0.4/less.html
It would be something you are already familiar with so the learning curve wouldn't be as steep and would allow you to spend more time learning other areas of Magento 2
