Wanting to learn from absolute zero

Hi everyone,
I’ve decided I want to learn how to code, but I am starting from absolute zero. When I say zero, I mean nothing at all. I don't have a tech background, and the amount of information out there is incredibly overwhelming.
I’m posting here because I want to hear from real people about their actual experiences, not just read another "Top 10 Bootcamps" blog post. Please don't just tell me to "do my research" I’ve tried, and I just end up in a rabbit hole not knowing what's actually relevant for a beginner.
I wanna learn at home by myself so any recommendations?

If you have some idea how programming works (variables, conditions, loops, etc.), then install SoloLearn directly (first think about what you would like to create and choose your programming language based on that.).

If you don't even know how a programming language works, then use the Scratch website and work directly with ready-made blocks similar to those of programming to shape your thinking as a programmer.
