Honestly, just sign up for chess.com or Lichess and jump in. It'll take a while to get comfortable with the pieces and win but the best way to learn is by doing. Both sites have training and puzzles too. Once you start getting a feel for how the pieces move and if you're enjoying it you can look up openings for beginners online and practice those.

I've been playing since 2019 pretty much constantly. I had no experience when I started and while I'm not great by any stretch I love playing and I'm really glad I picked it up.

If you ever want a game DM me.
